AI Accommodation Suggestions for English Language Learners

English language learners need accommodation suggestions that match their current proficiency level, their home language background, and the academic demands of each subject. A beginning-level ELL in 5th-grade science needs different supports from an intermediate-level ELL in 9th-grade history. Generic suggestions like provide translation overlook the complexity of language acquisition and the specific demands of academic language in each discipline. The Accommodation Suggestion Generator creates proficiency-specific, subject-appropriate ELL suggestions that give content-area teachers concrete actions for supporting language development alongside content learning.

How Teachers Use Accommodation Suggestions for English Language Learners

Ms. Ramirez generates subject-specific suggestions for beginning-level ELLs

An ESL coordinator at a middle school receiving four beginning-level ELL students who will spend most of the day in general education classrooms. She generates subject-specific accommodation suggestion packages for each student, math suggestions emphasize visual representations and calculator access without language barrier; science suggestions emphasize visual lab procedures and bilingual glossaries; history suggestions emphasize timeline-based visual supports and modified written output requirements. Each content teacher receives a one-page subject guide.

Mr. Lee creates intermediate ELL suggestions for a 10th-grade student

A high school ESL teacher working with a student at WIDA Level 3 who has been in the US for two years and has basic conversational English but struggles with academic vocabulary and complex text. He generates accommodation suggestions for the intermediate proficiency level: academic vocabulary pre-teaching, sentence frames for academic writing, complex text annotation support, and structured academic discussion formats that scaffold the transition from social to academic English.

Ms. Park builds suggestions for a newly arrived refugee student

A school counselor coordinating support for a newly arrived high school student who is a refugee with limited formal schooling and is at WIDA Level 1. The student has significant gaps in academic background knowledge in addition to language differences. She generates a SLIFE-profile suggestion package that addresses both language development and academic background building: visual content supports, hands-on learning alternatives, simplified grade-level content with bilingual support, and alternative assessment options that do not require academic English writing.
