Seidlitz 7 Steps to a Language-Rich Classroom
Seidlitz 7 Steps to a Language-Rich Classroom
The 7 Steps provide simple, practical strategies that help emergent bilingual students develop academic language while learning grade-level content.
These strategies aren't just for ESL teachers! They can be used in any classroom to increase student participation, strengthen vocabulary, and provide opportunities for students to practice speaking, listening, reading, and writing.
Start small! Choose one strategy to incorporate into your lessons this week. Even small changes, such as providing sentence stems or using structured conversations, can make a big difference in how students engage with academic content.
