It is helpful to have students work in pairs and in small groups to lower the affective filter and create a more comfortable environment for learning.

Low Affective Filter

To put ELL students at ease, or at least more comfortable in the classroom, I have them work with a partner. This allows them to get explanations from a classmate if needed without having to draw attention to themselves while asking a question in front of the class. It also gives them an opportunity to have discussions about what is being taught.

I find that the course is helpful because I am always looking for ways to engage the group of students that I have.
