Adapting Instructional Materials for L2 Learners

One of the greatest challenges faced by teachers of young learners is how best to respond to the wide range of ability, maturity, ethnicity, language competence and individual needs existing in any typical class of children.

Using simplified texts


A main barrier to learning for some children is the level of difficulty of the textbooks and other materials they are required to read

One obvious way that teachers can help L2readers is to select published reading materials that are already graded in terms of language complexity.

Although graded texts became unpopular in the 1980s and 1990s at the height of the whole language movement, they have regained some respectability if used as just one component in a balanced reading program(Pressley, 1998)
