Are you struggling to write clear and purposeful language objectives for your ELL students?

  • Language Function (e.g., describe, compare)
  • English Language Skills (speaking, listening, reading, writing)
  • Academic Vocabulary (specific words or phrases students will use)
  • Purpose (why students are using language)

Learn how language objectives complement content objectives and how to create objectives that directly support academic success. Beth also provides practical ChatGPT prompts that make transforming content objectives into language objectives easy.

This episode is packed with actionable tips that will simplify the process of writing language objectives and help your ELLs thrive. Listen to the full episode to learn how to use these strategies and take your ELL instruction to the next level!
