“The 6 Principles” for exemplary teaching

TESOL International Association has defined a core 6 principles for the exemplary teaching of English learners. These principles serve as universal guidelines drawn from decades of research in language pedagogy and language acquisition theory. They are targets for teaching excellence and should undergird any program of English language instruction.

 

I encourage you to visit the webpage What Are The 6 Principles? to learn more about them, as well as see the teaching practices and example activities for each one. The following are “The 6 Principles”.

  1. Know Your Learners

  2. Create Conditions for Language Learning

  3. Design High-Quality Lessons for Language Development

  4. Adapt Lesson Delivery as Needed

  5. Monitor and Assess Student Language Development

  6. Engage and Collaborate within a Community of Practice
