KAGAN STRUCTURES FOR ESOL
Kagan Structures to Skyrocket Comprehension and Fluency!
2 Day workshop
What are the most effective ways to meet the educational requirements of English Language Learners (ELLs) or English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) students in contemporary classrooms?
How can we facilitate the acquisition of crucial reading, writing, and speaking skills required for academic success across diverse subjects among students with limited or no English proficiency?
Kagan Structures, utilizing cooperative and communicative teaching methodologies, are invaluable resources for enhancing English fluency while conveying academic knowledge. By incorporating interactive structures, students are exposed to more functional language and have the opportunity to practice language more effectively.
To effectively support ELLs/ESOL students, educators must familiarise themselves with the stages of English language acquisition and utilise Kagan Structures tailored to the needs of students at each stage. These structures are ideal for regular classroom teachers, ESL teachers, project directors, and coordinators seeking to empower English learners in their classrooms.
Additionally, it is essential to create an inclusive learning environment that recognises and values the diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds of ELLs/ESOL students. Educators should incorporate culturally relevant materials, such as literature and multimedia, that reflect the students' heritage, history, and experiences, thereby promoting cultural pride and identity.
Furthermore, building relationships with ELLs/ESOL students and their families through regular communication and outreach efforts can establish a supportive and collaborative partnership that enhances student learning outcomes.
Ultimately, a comprehensive approach that incorporates effective teaching strategies and culturally responsive practices is essential for meeting the academic and socio-emotional needs of today's diverse ELLs/ESOL population.
