Education

In the eight years that I have taught ELD, I have found that all English learners are anxious to expedite the process of language acquisition. To that end, I have dedicated many hours to devising interesting ways to try to speed up the process. One such strategy has been integrating song and percussion into the ELD curriculum. This has very been successful in reinforcing three of the four modalities (listening, reading, and speaking) while offering a window into American culture, as well. Most telling, it has been met with great enthusiasm by all of my students, regardless of age or background!
