In what type of instructional settings can SIOP be used?
The SIOP Model can be applied successfully in any context where English language learners are learning content and language simultaneously. It is most frequently implemented in content-based or thematic ESL classes, secondary content classes and elementary classes that serve a mix of ELLs and native English speakers, specifically designed sheltered content courses, and in bilingual education and two-way immersion contexts.
