English language learners (ELLs) require appropriate English language instruction. Reading, writing, listening, pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar are important for an ELL student to learn. Teachers should use individualized lesson plans that meet each student's abilities and secondary language knowledge. An ELL classroom is made up of students who do not have the ability to speak or read English fluently. These students are unable to participate in a regular classroom without some type of help. The ELL classroom will give students more time to practice English. Comprehensible input Comprehensible input consists of academic learning messages. An ELL student must participate if they want to learn the material. Krashen has five hypotheses for second language acquisition. These hypotheses are: “acquired learning, comprehensible input, monitoring, affective filtering and natural order” (Krashen, 1981). Comprehensive input uses appropriate language and a clear explanation of the tasks students need to complete during the school day. Students must be able to understand what is expected of them before they can complete the lesson or assignment. Comprehensible input “will be made meaningful when the speaker uses visual supports, nonverbal gestures, paraverbal support (whispers, sighs), graphic organizers, and realia (real objects that students can see) that focus students on the concrete here and now” (Faltis, 2008). Visual aids are very helpful in clarifying vocabulary terms for ELL students. Continuous, Specific, and Immediate Feedback Feedback is critical and must be provided immediately to assist in instruction. There are many types of feedback: direct, explicit written, one-on-one conferences, ...... half of the article ......4300068&v=2.1&u=canyonuniv&it=r&p=GVRL&sw=w&authCount=1.Krashen, SD ( 1981) Second language acquisition and second language learning.
