Background Knowledge ELLs will learn new content and language when it is built on what they already know.
Virtual experiences, such as educational visual media, can enhance background knowledge.
Academic Vocabulary ELLs will learn new content and language when they understand the terms that are used in classrooms, in textbooks and on tests.
When teaching academic vocabulary terms, students should create nonlinguistic representations.
