Using Visuals to Teach English Language Learners

About the Course
Using visuals is an effective, research-based method for teaching English language learners (ELLs) as well as their fellow classmates. Visuals support essential information and put classwork into a context that can make learning more understandable and comprehensible. Visuals can help lower learners' affective filter by relating to personal experiences.
This course is appropriate for all levels of teachers. Teacher librarians, instructional coaches, and administrators are invited to join us as well.
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Establish the why of using visual aids in the classroom for ELLs and all students.
- Demonstrate how visuals and background knowledge can enhance vocabulary and academic language.
- Use a variety of formative and summative assessments to scaffold student learning.
- Implement social-emotional learning strategies to help their students succeed.
- Define and implement a culturally responsive classroom.

I really enjoyed this class. The pacing and expectations were manageable while teaching full time. I learned a lot of great strategies to implement with all my students! I created lessons that I used the next day with my classes.

This was a great class and was set up very well and was easy to follow and see your progress. Colleen gives insightful and timely feedback and is very easy to work with. I am using the things we learn to everyone's benefit.
