You have been lecturing and students are complaining that they cannot understand you or follow your logic. What is the best solution to this scenario? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would recommend peer work, collaborative groups. Check if there are classmates that speak the same language as ESOL students and are more proficient at the English language or speak both the ELLs native language and English at the same level and assign this student as a peer helper to assist with translation and activities. Use many visuals and much repetition. Have rules, procedures, and agenda posted on the board with pictures next to the words to assist the ELLs with understanding what is going on in the classroom.
