The 6 Principles Quick Guide for Second

TESOL International Association’s The 6 Principles for the Exemplary Teaching of English Learners® are a core set of principles for the exemplary teaching and learning of English as a new language. They are universal guidelines drawn from decades of research in language pedagogy and language acquisition theory. The 6 Principles are targets for teaching excellence and should be the foundation for any program of English language instruction. This Quick Guide uses The 6 Principles as a lens to offer an overview of the key elements involved in the second language acquisition (SLA) process, and tips on how educators can use this knowledge to assist learners in having a successful SLA experience. When educators understand the SLA process, they can make appropriate instructional decisions as they implement The 6 Principles in your classroom.
