One of the most effective ways to support English Learners and all academic language learners (ALLs) is to SWiRL lessons. Our students need continuous and varied opportunities to to speak, write, read, an listen numerous times in a class period. For maximum impact, these opportunities to use the four language domains should also include opportunities for students to interact with the teacher and other students students. By "swirling" lessons students will be able to fully engage in understanding the content being taught and they will work on developing their English language & academic language. Any "good" task can be made a great task by swirling it! There is no kit, program, or quick fix that can support student learning more than SWiRL.
