Correcting grammar and syntax during class may cause ELL students to feel self-conscious and hesitant to participate, leading to a slower progression in language skills and potentially hindering academic success. It is important to provide corrective feedback, but it should be done in a supportive and constructive way outside of class. A better strategy in class would be to provide opportunities for ELL students to practice their language skills through interactive activities such as group work and partner work, as well as pre-teaching important vocabulary before a unit to help improve comprehension. Additionally, modeling thought processes and procedures aloud can also help ELL students understand and internalize concepts.
