Which of the following models is associated with content integration in ESL teaching?

The SDAIE Model, which stands for Specially Designed Academic Instruction in English, is focused on integrating content and language learning for English learners. This approach emphasizes teaching academic content while simultaneously developing students' English language skills.

In the SDAIE Model, educators modify their instruction to make subject matter comprehensible to students who are still acquiring language proficiency, ensuring that students are engaged with meaningful content. The model encourages using strategies that promote language acquisition within the context of specific subjects, thus fostering both cognitive and language development. This integration supports students in learning academic language and concepts simultaneously, enhancing their overall understanding and performance in school.

The other models mentioned, such as TPR (Total Physical Response), the Grammar-Translation Method, and the Direct Method, have different focuses. TPR centers on kinesthetic learning and physical movement to reinforce language acquisition; the Grammar-Translation Method emphasizes learning grammar and vocabulary through translation, often without context; and the Direct Method focuses on immersive language learning without translation but does not specifically address content integration like SDAIE does.
