Learning Through Context for High-level English Language Learners (ELL)

January 17, 2024
1:00-2:00pm EST
When teaching English language learners, it is important to use authentic materials with consideration to their cultural backgrounds. High-level English language learners still require consolidation of grammar points and strive to work on more complex grammar points. Teaching these grammatical structures through authentic materials with consideration for students’ cultural backgrounds can aid in developing skills whilst using higher order thinking skills.
