- Abstract: Since beginning her teaching career, Sarah Capitelli has been concerned with how to best meet the needs of her English language learners during English language development class. In particular, she is concerned with how to help them create a strong foundation for their learning of English. In her research, she has discovered that her school's program has not worked for the most needy students. Her research questions were 1) What structures support English language development in the classroom? 2) How do conversations between students support English language learning? 3) What strategies do good English language learners use? And 4) How can video be used to give students a window into their English language learning?
