Agricultural education classrooms are rich with hands-on learning, technical vocabulary, and real-world applications—but for English Language Learners (ELLs), these experiences can also present unique challenges. This workshop equips agricultural educators with practical, easy-to-implement strategies to make content more accessible and engaging for all students. Participants will explore techniques such as QSSA (Question, Signal, Stem, Share), the use of visuals and pictures, structured student talk, and vocabulary scaffolding to support language development while maintaining rigorous agricultural content. Through interactive activities and real classroom examples, educators will leave with tools they can immediately apply to improve comprehension, participation, and confidence among ELL students in their programs.
