A Focused Approach for English Learner Instruction
A Focused Approach serves as the foundation for E. L. Achieve's professional development offerings. The overarching goal is to provide teachers and administrators with knowledge, skills, and tools to:
Equip English learners with the language they need to express
the sophistication of their thinking for real life and academic purposes.
This requires that students be able to adroitly use language to fully participate in all aspects of classroom life: listening with comprehension; speaking about ideas, concepts and learning with accuracy and confidence; reading for varied purposes with understanding; and capably writing for a wide range of purposes.
The Focused Approach is a comprehensive framework for English Learner instruction that provides a student-centered, language-focused approach to planning and teaching. It is based on:
- A Blueprint for English Learner Instruction that provides a comprehensive view of the instructional day,
- Features of Explicit Language Instruction that backward maps language instruction from task analysis to instruction, explicitly building receptive and expressive language by connecting reading, writing, listening, and speaking, and
- Effective program planning
