Episode 85 - EL Class Structure and Vocabulary Instruction: A Peek Into My Classroom

The ESL Teaching Podcast

A while back, I recorded an episode about how I structured my middle school class, and since I work at 2 schools, middle and high school, I wanted to offer you a little glimpse into how I structure my high school classes. I have more students at the high school this year and more classes, so there's plenty of room for creativity.

Lesson planning and vocabulary instruction is something that is always on top of every EL teacher's mind, and my goal for this episode is to share with you my teaching setup and how I work with students in grades 9 through 12.
What you will hear about in this episode:

• Structure of EL Classes at the High School
• Background Building as an EL Teacher
• Proficiency Levels and Student Needs
• Vocabulary Instruction Strategies
• The break down of some lessons on how I incorporate teaching English through content area and subjects
