| Apr 18, 2020 at 6:51 | comment | added | Anonymous Physicist | @jamesG could you explain why you think classroom pedagogy for English language learners should be different from online pedagogy for the same people? It seems to me that the same strategies apply, such as explaining things in multiple ways, supplementing listening with reading and watching, language immersion, etc. | |
| Apr 18, 2020 at 6:49 | comment | added | Anonymous Physicist | @SolarMike I don't agree with your close reason at all. Questions about teaching and learning techniques should be encouraged here. Though it might be better if the question were more specific to higher education. | |

clarified what kind of classes are under consideration

| Apr 17, 2020 at 21:00 | comment | added | Solar Mike | @AzorAhai but as you know so much about the question I will leave it to you - especially as you think I don’t understand... looking forward to your answer. | |
| Apr 17, 2020 at 20:33 | comment | added | Azor Ahai -him- | @SolarMike I'm not sure I follow why you bring that up, but it sounds like you'd be in a good position to answer the OP's question, then. | |
| Apr 17, 2020 at 20:21 | comment | added | Solar Mike | @AzorAhai I spend most of my time teaching students who take the class in English which is for them their 2nd, 3rd or even 4th language so I have a good idea of what works for me. | |
| Apr 17, 2020 at 20:19 | comment | added | Azor Ahai -him- | @SolarMike I don't understand how that pertains? | |
| Apr 17, 2020 at 20:19 | comment | added | Solar Mike | @AzorAhai I’ll leave it to you, although I have many nationalities on my courses and over 90 different in the institution. | |
| Apr 17, 2020 at 20:18 | comment | added | livresque | If this is a question about student accommodations, what practices are already in place to assist these students? | |
| Apr 17, 2020 at 20:17 | comment | added | Azor Ahai -him- | @SolarMike They are using ELL/ESL as a term for second-language speakers or to identify students involved in those services who also take content classes. "How do I teach biology to a second-language speaker of English after we've been forced online because of COVID-19?" is not an language learners question. | |
| Apr 17, 2020 at 20:14 | comment | added | Solar Mike | @AzorAhai I did not misunderstand ELL or ESL - the O P was very precise. As I pointed out they have their own stacks due to the focus they bring. However, if you are the OP then please rephrase the question correctly for clarity for me , and no doubt, others. | |
| Apr 17, 2020 at 20:12 | comment | added | Azor Ahai -him- | @SolarMike I think you've misunderstand the question. Perhaps it could be better phrased as "What specific difficulties do second-language speakers of English have in taking online content classes, and how can we help?" This isn't about teaching English online. Frankly, I think online classes would be easier since they could rewind and slow recording, and have more written resources, but it's a good, on-topic question. | |

| Apr 17, 2020 at 19:44 | comment | added | Solar Mike | And the OP may benefit from the Italian Stack, French Stack as they both cover teaching... | |
| Apr 17, 2020 at 19:42 | comment | added | Solar Mike | @Buffy clearly talks about ELL & ESL ... so seems very precise. | |
| Apr 17, 2020 at 19:39 | comment | added | Buffy | @SolarMike and others, consider the fact that it isn't specifically about learning language, but about learning and teaching other things when language difficulties (and online...) intrude. | |
| Apr 17, 2020 at 19:33 | comment | added | Solar Mike | I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is probably better on the Language Learners Stack. | |
| Apr 17, 2020 at 19:26 | comment | added | Buffy | Let me suggest that any technique that would improve comprehension for these students would almost certainly also improve it for native speakers. My solutions rely on using text, such as subtitles and transcripts for videos. This also aids the partially deaf as well. | |
