Identifying LTELL Needs
Identifying LTELL needs
In addition to the Academic Language and Content Achievement Model (ALCA-M), Long-Term English Language Learners need:
- Extra time to accelerate language development in a dynamic and highly engaging learning environment
- A focus on productive (speaking and writing) academic language development in core content areas using grade-level standards (English, mathematics, science, social studies)
- Smaller class size
- To develop life and career skills (e.g., organization, note-taking, study skills, goal-setting, and self-regulation) that increase students’ perseverance, motivation, and metacognitive skills
- Role-models, mentors and/or site-based support system (e.g., Gear-up, AVID, PBS, After School All Stars)
- An early prevention system in elementary schools
Getting to know your LTELL students
Each Long-Term English Language Learner (LTELL) has unique characteristic patterns of strengths, weaknesses, and preferences in processing and retrieving information. Whether you are a teacher, parent, tutor, or mentor, it is important to differentiate for individual needs by finding out more about the student’s learning preferences, learning interests, and career interests.
