Using DLT and SLT in lessons

My area of endorsements are in ELL and Special Education. Now, obviously in teaching in these areas I will need to encorporate many teaching strategies in developing lesson plans. For example if if were teaching ELL students how to put together a sentence, like proper sentence structure and formation, I could use the DLT which is the theory of having students start out learning something using a very concrete method to then having them approach the same thing but having them progress toward seeing the thing more abstractly. I would at first try and have them try and put together a sentence themselves or try and put together a sentence speaking to themselves, then I would maybe have them watch a clip of a video to allow them to visually see it and hear it and then after that I would have them try and converse with another student. I could also encorporate the SLT into this by having them correct one another or by asking one of the more knowledgeable peers to try and help them try and create a sentence. I do realize that is not a subject matter but in these areas alot of what I will be doing is trying to teach the students how to converse, as I will be working with english language learners as well as possibly severely disabled individuals. As for teaching them how to do something, more students in the special education department will need to be taught things most using very concrete material, however hopefully hey will be able to comprehend some abstract concepts. Now, obviously students in the ELL program will most likely be able to think abstractively once they have learned the language better.
