**Welcome to EAL Strategies!** If you are an international school teacher, you probably have EAL/ELL students in your classroom. While these students are often very capable, they lack the background knowledge, experiences, and vocabulary to succeed in our classes - we need to build these with them. EAL/ELL/ESOL is not just just for 'pull-out' teachers. We are all responsible for helping the students we have in our classes.

I think we should split this Wiki into sections: Reading, Writing, Math, and Content Area Classes. Each area requires strategies, thought, and lots of patience in order for our students to succeed.

I highly recommend you purchase the book from ASCD called Strategies for Success with English Language Learners by Dr. Virginia Rojas. She has trillions of strategies in a binder that are pre-sorted.* I would also recommend you attend her TTC Class during the summer, or go to a conference and attend one of her classes. She is an amazing educator with a plethora of knowledge about scaffolding, differentiation, and cooperative learning.

AIS-Egypt Strategies PLN We welcome your feedback:)

* PS Maybe I exaggerated a bit on the number of strategies in her book, but there are a lot!!!

Jocelyn Zhang: I would like to share this website to you. [] It's a good website in which students can read the same news article in different Lexile levels. You may also check the introduction I made for my students. []
