As early childhood teachers, almost everything we do in the classroom daily is conducive to learning the English language. Below you will find research-based information and my personal tips that will put your fears to rest and make your ESL students feel safe and comfortable in your classroom.
Communicating with Multilingual Early Learners
Use hand gestures and facial expressions to communicate, you will be surprised at how much you can convey with these alone. Just like any other young child, ESL students will also pick up on your body language, so be relaxed and confident, smile often, and give the thumbs-up sign when things are going well. Speak clearly, enunciate your words, and avoid use of regional slang or colloquialisms.
What if My ELL Students Don’t Talk?
Don’t worry, most ESL students will go through a “silent period” that can last anywhere from six weeks to three months or more. During this time your students are absorbing their new language and may be afraid of speaking and making a mistake. It’s very important that you, your colleagues, or the child’s classmates do not force young English Language Learners to speak during this time or punish them for not speaking, however lots of praise and encouragement often works wonders. You can entice...
Preserving the Native Language and Encouraging Communication Between Other Students
Discouraging the use of the native language in the classroom or at home is counterproductive. Often, ESL students will discuss concepts they are learning in your classroom in their native language, thus improving comprehension. We don’t want English to replace their native language, we want them to learn English as a Second Language. Banning their native language in the classroom will force ESL students to lose their identity and feel “bad” for speaking their native language- thus feeling bad...
I feel that it’s as important to communicate with the parents of my ESL students as it is to communicate with the students themselves. In your weekly newsletteruse lots of clipart for visuals and break the info up into small bites. Provide lots of real visuals at parent orientation and conferences. To explain that a backpack is required, I hold up ...
Using Visuals Cues With English Language Learners
Just like all young children, your dual language learners will benefit from the use of visuals and props to better understand words. For example, try using classroom rules with pictures and a visual daily scheduleto provide visual cues. When you sing songs try to use a prop or puppet. For example, when singing Five Green and Speckled Frogs, try to have five frog props (printed and glued to craft sticks, stuffed animals, or puppets) to help your young English Language Learners better understan...
Oral Language Activities for ELLs
Word Wacker For each theme I created a thematic word wall using Microsoft clip art. Just insert the clip art into a word document and size it to fit your needs, next print it out, cut, and glue the pictures to a poster board. I suggest laminating the poster board for durability. Cut out the middle of the fly swatter with scissors or an Exacto knife, the hole will act as a “frame” for the pictures on the word wall. Next, place the thematic word wall in your large group area and review the word...

1. Line up to Enter. Depending on what the drop off policy is in your preschool, you can use this activity to greet each student at the start of the day. Have your class line up outside the classroom and enter one at a time. As children enter, ask each a question or have a short casual conversation with each child.
