The most effective strategies, approaches, and methods for teaching ELLs are supported by language
acquisition theories. English language acquisition can be promoted by understanding language as an
interconnected system and by integrating the discourse and rhetorical structures of ELLs within instruction.
For this assignment, you will devise a language game or communication activity that is informed by language
acquisition theory and integrates listening, speaking, reading, and writing for a grade level within grades K-12.

corresponding standard from the Arizona English Language Proficiency (ELP) to be included within this game
or activity. Create at least one learning objective for your game or activity that is aligned with your chosen ELA
and ELP standards.
