Engaging English Language Learners
A collection of visual, speaking, and listening activities to support all 5 stages of language acquisition.
Use these sample projects and classroom ideas to support your ELLs as they acquire new language.
Creative use of technology can engage ELLs, and help you integrate your iPads, PCs, or Chromebooks into the curriculum.
These samples were created by primary students and classrooms using Wixie.
"Wixie offers opportunities for students to demonstrate their knowledge across multiple language domains, making it an essential teaching tool for English Language Learners (ELLs). Students can publish their writing and read their writing out loud to their teachers. Wixie gives students voice and choice!"

Students practice writing and speaking new vocabulary words using familiar and repetitive books and songs.

Ss use #Wixie to describe what plants need to grow and to label the plant life cycle. What an awesome tool to demonstrate receptive and productive language using voice and sign! @Tech4Learning @PWCSScience @Michell36007415 @ColesRoadrunner pic.twitter.com/99UIpeCqxY

Do you know what happens when an ESOL Teacher, SBTS and Ms. Boyd’s kindergarten class all come together? You get Creative and Critical Thinkers exploring how to use Wixie to express ideas! We can’t wait to see those final projects! #MeepMeep @fcpsnews @drNEKing @KraftJesse pic.twitter.com/ZM1IgpHUl4
