It provides observation dates placeholders (BOY/MOY/EOY) and guidance across listening, speaking, reading, writing, and feedback. For beginning and intermediate levels, it emphasizes gestures, concise speech, native-language clarification, respectful wait time, sentence frames, environmental print, and shared reading/writing supports. For advanced levels, it focuses on guided reading with subject-area texts, comprehension checks, idioms and colloquialisms, oral presentations, and independent reading and writing tasks.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/","Exam",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/gateway-elps-leader-pathway-intermediateadvanced-teacher-behaviors/498216/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/gateway-elps-leader-pathway-intermediateadvanced-teacher-behaviors/498216.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Rowan","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-10","2026-10-02",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",6,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"How should teachers support ELLs in the listening domain at the beginning level?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"Teachers should use gestures, check for understanding, keep speech clear and concise with shorter sentences, and respect the silent period.
