Strategies

Listed below, you will find strategies to promote student understand of classroom communication:
- Restate complex sentences as a sequence of simple sentences
- Avoid or explain the use of idiomatic expressions
- Restate information as a slower pace
- Pause often to allow students to process what they hear
- Provide explanations of key words and special technical vocabulary
- Bring in objects, photographs, or other materials to explain content
- Use visual organizers and graphics to organize and illustrate key points
- Provide an outline of a lesson that students can review
- Allow time for students to discuss what they have learned and to generate questions about areas that need more clarification.
