Consistent Routines
English Learners benefit from consistent academic routines. They face the challenge of grappling with rigorous academic content, trying to master new skills and simultaneously wrestling to learn through a language they haven't yet mastered. English Learners easily feel anxious and unsure in classrooms where there is little consistency in how things are approached and inadequate instructions for how to proceed with activities. Consistency in a set of routine instructional approaches enables them to lower their "affective filter" and to participate more fully in class.
