I have tried using gestures, and pictures and using simple sentences, but I am still having trouble communicating with some students. I am in a eLearning classroom. I want to reach the students as best as I can, but I am struggling to find new ways of doing this.                 Submit a Possible Solution Please read response(s) below (if any) before posting your solution.                 Solution 1 Posted October 6, 2020 5:47 pm zeXyBy Reps: 204 Working with ELLs can be difficult at times, especially when you have tried many of the strategies you have learned while in college. First, I would ensure your students feel welcomed. Teaching virtually is hard to begin with and it is new to both students and teachers. I would recommend having a virtual icebreaker to see what your students like and dislike. I would also suggest to introduce new vocabulary words at the beginning of a lesson, being flexible with assignments, and to make use of the students' native language. I hope this helps!

This way, the students feel seen and are more comfortable when trying to communicate.
