Clinical Field Experience B: ELL Instructional Strategies
Part 2: Plan and Reflect
The observation in the school shows that the school supports the learners in acquiring English language skills. One of the techniques I observed in the learning environment was to ask questions to the students. Asking regular questions would prompt their memory and improve their knowledge acquisition.

Parents spend time with the children in the evening and their participation is key. Parents can use their local or ethnic language to facilitate better learning. another strategy is encouraging the students to read short stories and learn new songs.
