  • A certified ENL teacher does NOT need to speak any of the many native languages that his/her students may speak.
  • ENL instruction occurs IN ENGLISH using sheltered techniques, numerous hands-on activities, many pictures, body movements and gestures, and realia to teach English vocabulary.
  • English vocabulary can be taught through thematic units which are content based.
