If the student is at the acquisition stage, an even more basic question you should be asking is whether the student has the prerequisite skills necessary to learn the new targeted skill.
A student’s prior knowledge is the best predictor of how much he will learn during a lesson.
If prerequisite skills have not been learned, the teacher needs to:Teach an easier version of the skillTeach an easier skill altogether 6

In all cases, do the following:1. Make a copy and put it on the projector.2. Make a copy for each of your student3. Read the text aloud several times focusing on the phrasing (ability to read several words in one breath), rate (speed of reading), and intonation (emphasis given to particular words or phrases)4. Do choral, paired or solo reading 5. Play song or movie clip 6. Ask students to sing the song or act

Consider using visual text first to teach these strategies. For example, use complex but short films (5 – 15 minutes) to teach strategies, build background knowledge, and for students to use for practice. These films do not have dialogue and, therefore, no language burden.

Next, use comprehensible texts, including short stories, excerpts from larger works, and adolescent novels. Give students time to apply comprehension strategies while in collaborative learning groups.
Finally, use complex texts such as novels, non-fiction, and academic exposition. The goal is for students independently to choose and use strategies for different purposes, and to be able to critically analyze, in writing or in speech, the texts they read strategically.

Adolescent ELLs are often talented at basic interpersonal communication skills, which often masks their difficulty in attaining content and academic literacy proficiency. This is due to the vocabulary load that middle and high school learners suddenly face.
It is estimated that that students need to know 88,500 word families to understand their content-area texts, yet only 10% of needed vocabulary is usually learned through direct instruction. 23

Before reading a text, identify key content vocabulary and vocabulary that may be difficult for language learners, such as phrasal verbs and prepositional phrases. ELL's tend to acquire these language forms last because they do not exist in many languages.
Also, identify potentially difficult idioms, homonyms, and slang phrases. Pre-teach essential vocabulary words and phrases through word walls.

Use Google images to pre-teach vocabulary. "Google" the focus vocabulary words, and choose the images category. Connect the images to the vocabulary words.
When vocabulary words are more conceptual than concrete, use the images to start a discussion rather than name an object.
When possible, bring in the real thing to make the meaning of objects clear, physically demonstrate verb phrases or ask students to role-play, and use relevant film-clips to illustrate vocabulary. In short, use multiple modalities to teach vocabulary.
