Assignment 3 Understanding ELA Instruction

ELA is something students need to master and be proficient at, in order to become successful individuals in their careers and lives. ELA teaches critical thinking skills in reading as well as creative writing, language and speaking/ listening skills. It is how people communicate and how people understand what they are reading. The standards provide and outline the knowledge and core concepts in detail. ELA can be taught in all subject areas and it is important that teachers of all studies implement ELA into their lessons. Language can’t just be passively taught. The students must receive the opportunity to use their new language in different contexts. Dialogue with new vocabulary, using language their taught in writing and critical thinking are all important factors of ELA. The standards of ELA help teachers have a clear goal for their students learning.
