SEI STRATEGIES 2
Introduction: SEI Strategies in Learning
SEI strategies which means Structured English Instructions (SEI) is a structured model
that only promotes English instructions along with English grammar directions (Friedman,
2015). The super SEI programs are beneficial to the students and especially the students that
are in classrooms that is the ELL students. The five super SEI strategies include:
 Strategies to always establish the objective of the language
 Strategies to always use the 50/50 English rule where the teachers speaks 50% while
the student speaks the remaining 50%.
 Strategies to always push the students to their level of productive discomfort
 Students should always respond in very articulate and complete sentences.
 Strategies that always recognizes that the teacher is supposed to do nothing and the
student is always supposed to do all the work (Hall, 2017).
In the SEI strategy, there should use a lot of repetition of things that are said in the
classroom. There is a lot of repeating of sentences in the activities generated. SEI increases
the engagement and concept retention of activities being learned. It also provides the students
with oral practice in language and construction of sentences. At first, it may seem a bit
awkward but after listening to the difference and trying it for a while, it shows how the
student should talk to each other and the teachers. The following are the strategies that are
required from the readings:
