Abstract
Teachers working with English language learners (ELLs) can and should help both ELLs and monolingual students to meet the same curriculum-based learning goals. To do this, instruction for ELLs — not learning objectives — should be modified using specific teaching strategies that provide needed, developmentally appropriate language support. Selecting and combining content-based instructional objectives, learning activity types, and English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) teaching strategies appropriately, then choosing the technologies that best support each and all in service of students’ learning, is the key to effective instructional planning and technology integration in any curriculum that seeks to promote ELLs’ academic development.
