** A team of Sun West employees embarked on this project ﻿ with the help of María Elena Argüelles. ** ** She was the presenter at a __//Vocabulary Instruction and Language Development for English Language Learners//__ conference that was held in Swift Current in September, 2010. ** ** She had so many wonderful ideas that we felt that we simply had to share them with others in our school division. As a result, we worked together to create a handbook entitled: //__Walk the Talk: Strategies for Developing Language - Working with English as an Additional Language (EAL) Learners__//. ** ** The strategies in that handbook are presented in this Wiki. ** ** We thank Maria for sharing her expertise with us and welcome everyone to try out the activities and strategies with the students with whom they work. Although the strategies presented here and in the handbook are perfect for EAL students, they would also be very useful with all students, as they are simply good practices. ** ** Enjoy using them and if you have any other strategies that you have found practicularly useful, contact us and we will include them here for others to use. **
