ABSTRACT
In a traditional demonstration, a series of discrete instructional segments are involved. First, the teacher shows how to perform the procedures of interest, step-by-step, by talking aloud and explaining along the way. Second, students are expected to develop operational skills by practicing the procedures of interest under the watchful eye of the instructor. ird, the instructor conducts an assessment to verify that students can actually perform the tasks as expected. ough the sequential linearity of events may work well for mainstream students fully acculturated to the occupational context and ways of doing things in the specialized community, ELLs may need more interactive components to garner clues along the way and understand what is being said (and demonstrated) and eectively follow the ow of the instructional components.
