Constantly, we have 1 newcomer class. I don't agree with the district EL policy. I judge that newcomers should have 3 or more EL classes and not be in literary arts, social studies, etc. These classes are too context embedded.
Your newcomers need a silent period to listen and absorb language. Language learners learn in baby steps just as our own children do. They will begin producing language over time. Use a lot of picture supports, body language voice inflection, and cultural references the child can relate to.
