Principles of Language Acquisition for ELL StudentsSummaryIn this article, we will briefly examine the principles of language acquisition and how they work on behalf of ELL students. We will see how these principles can be applied in our own learning environment. Walqui's article contains a lot of information that gives a brief overview of ELL students and what things were like in the past for these students. Now that times have changed, we'll look at how educators can make requirements for ELL students better and more effective for teachers and students. Hopefully, as we look for ways to change the learning of our ELL students, we must remember that each student learns differently. Even if you follow principles 1-8, we must keep in mind that everyone is unique and deals with things on their own schedule. Reading the article “Principles of Teaching a Second Language” by Professor Rod Ellis (2008), he gives us a brief overview of eight principles we can use to help ELL students. The L2 (second language learners) must be able to adapt to the American language. As educators, we must find the right road map to help these students. ALS researchers aren't sure they can help these students achieve that goal. Professor Ellis believes, with some guidance, that educators can have “tentative specifications.” The first principle mentioned by Professor Ellis is: “teaching must ensure that learners develop a rich repertoire of formal expressions and rule-based competence”. It was here that Professor Ellis spoke of natives using a greater number of formal expressions than SLA. He also explained how memorized material was internalized...... middle of paper...... up to date. ELL students face the challenge of learning a new language while having to learn other subjects. As educators, we must first develop the reading skills of our ELL students so that they develop the habit of reading and writing. We also need to look at different avenues to increase their literacy skills. We need to work on the strengths of our ELL students. When we work on what our ELL students already know, we can help develop students learning multiple languages. We can even ask ELL students to share their native language with other students. This can help make learning interesting when they share their cultural background. Educated
