HELP Math
HELP Math employs a research-based pedagogy for teaching ELLs mathematics and other academic content that
had proved effective in a classroom setting. This instructional methodology is called Sheltered Instruction. The sheltered
method—devised initially for ELLs—is proving to be increasingly popular with non-ELL teachers and has demonstrated
remarkable success with non-ELL students in a classroom setting. The purpose of this video is to offer the viewer an understanding of what it feels like for a non-native speaker to learn math content in a second
language. In this six minute video, Lynda Franco, expert in English language acquisition, takes the listener through a mathematics
lesson. The first two minutes of instruction are provided solely in Spanish in a manner typifying teacher-led textbook practice.
In the second part of the video, Ms. Franco delivers the same math lesson; however, this time, she uses sheltered instruction
techniques to illuminate the content. Click here to see a video and experience the use of sheltered instruction techniques.
