Overview
With the SWIRL Method, K-12 teachers can give students opportunities to SWIRL: speak, write, interact, read, and listen to English to become confident, competent, and proficient in English. SWIRL provides research-based, time-tested, practical, applicable activities, lessons, and strategies. Almost every lesson involves activities that require students to speak, write, interact, read, and listen. By balancing SWIRL, students can practice English in real-world situations.
- Comprehend integral aspects and stages of language acquisition and proficiency.
