Engaging English Learners in oral language is a crucial aspect of teaching them to become linguistically and academically proficient.
When students are able to have constructive conversations with their peers, they learn to listen to each other attentively and respond appropriately.
Kagan Structures create a cooperative and caring class tone by putting students on the same side as they interact in pairs, small teams, and with classmates. Structures ensure every student is individually accountable so no one can hide and take a free ride. By creating equal participation, all students are engaged a much greater percentage of the time.
Additionally, through the teacher's use of the Kagan MegaTimer, students learn quickly that everyone has the potential to be selected for the timer. They are better able to manage their time while working and they learn to take turns.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
