Abstract
Learning English can be a hard task, but it does not have to be. Using proven strategies, English Language Learners (ELL) can read and write with understanding and fluency. According to Cheung & Slavin (2012), direct instruction, cooperative learning, language development, and teaching phonetics have had positive effects for ELL students. These strategies can increase the likelihood of an ELL student performing on grade level with their peers. Another strategy that has proven to be effective, is to teach students morphology of words in the English language. According to Carlisle (2003), knowledge of morphology can help students understand and decode words which will build upon their word reading, spelling, and word memory. This presentation will show how using research-based strategies and my own personal experiences, can have a positive impact on ELL students.
