• Empower Intermediate Multilingual Learners with Engaging, Skill-Building Enrichment

    Support multilingual learners (MLL) with THINKING PRO — a flexible program for enrichment and pull-out support that builds speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills through real-world content and engaging instruction.

  • THINKING PRO for Multilingual Learners

    Imagine your intermediate multilingual learners participating confidently—discussing ideas, interpreting real-world texts, and expressing themselves clearly in both speech and writing. They’re not just practicing language—they’re growing with purpose.

    THINKING PRO enriches intermediate MLL students’ experience through high-interest content, structured support, and real-world relevance — creating a language-learning environment where students feel empowered and eager to engage. It builds key skills in speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

    MLL teachers report improved fluency, stronger speaking and writing, and higher motivation across learners. Core teachers also notice the difference — stronger participation, clearer expression, and better academic performance in ELA and Social Studies classrooms.

    Replace worksheets with real-world content that engages your students—and empower your multilingual learners with a program that builds real motivation and academic growth.

  • How Schools Use THINKING PRO to Support Intermediate Multilingual Learners

    Pull-Out Interventions for English Proficiency

    THINKING PRO works as a pull-out program focused on improving reading, speaking, and writing for multilingual learners. ELA and Social Studies teachers can credit the work toward coursework, helping students stay aligned academically. Structured activities like group discussions and media literacy exercises build academic language and confidence in a supportive setting.

    Get Ready for English Proficiency Tests

    Students improve WIDA ACCESS scores by 1 to 2 points in just 8–10 weeks with THINKING PRO. The program builds academic language and skills through local news, discussions, and targeted instruction, aligning with WIDA high school standards. Many students are so engaged they ask their MLL teachers to make sure they get pulled out — a rare sign of how deeply the program motivates.

    Integrated Classroom Enrichment for ELA and Social Studies

    THINKING PRO strengthens multilingual learners’ academic skills in ELA and Social Studies, using local issues and interactive videos with voiceover narration, animation, and annotation. The program supports language growth and content learning at each student’s pace, integrating naturally into both subject areas.

    Reengaging Long-Term ELs: A Pathway to Exit

    For multilingual learners struggling with proficiency tests, THINKING PRO offers renewed purpose. Real-world content and interactive learning tools reengage students and strengthen language skills, helping them overcome the final hurdles to successfully graduate English learner programs.

  • Case Study: Pull-Out Success and Language Growth in Christian County, KY

    In Christian County, Kentucky, Dr. Vicky Barnes and her team implemented THINKING PRO in pull-out classes for intermediate multilingual learners. With a focus on student-centered inquiry and real-world content, the program offered targeted support in reading, writing, speaking, and listening — and helped transform student motivation and outcomes.

    Using THINKING PRO’s interactive videos, capstone projects, and media-rich lessons, students were challenged in a way that encouraged both academic skill-building and confidence in communication. Learners took ownership over their progress, working at their own pace on content that felt relevant and empowering

    All participating students moved up to Tier C on the WIDA ACCESS test (a common English proficency assessment), showing substantial language proficiency gains.* 75% reached proficiency or higher in reading strategies, and 81% in thinking strategies. In student surveys, 100% said the program challenged their learning and thinking, and 86% reported working harder on assignments than in other settings — a rare show of engagement in language support programs.

    “THINKING PRO has helped me better myself in many ways throughout my journey in high school.”

    — MLL Student, Christian County

    “Students flourished in the acquisition of their second language. THINKING PRO helped them become more confident in their communication skills.”

    — Dr. Vicky Barnes, MLL Program Leader, Christian County, KY

    THINKING PRO makes language learning purposeful and motivating — helping your intermediate multilingual students grow into confident thinkers and effective communicators.
