TESOL International Association has defined a core set of principles for the exemplary teaching of English learners. The 6 Principles are universal guidelines drawn from decades of research in language pedagogy and language acquisition theory. The 6 Principles are for all educators who interact with English language learners. They are applicable across different educational contexts, such as classrooms with children or adults, dual language learners, emerging bilinguals, and multilingual students. Here they are:

1. Know Your Learners
2. Create Conditions for Language Learning
3. Design High-Quality Lessons for Language Development
4. Adapt Lesson Delivery as Needed
5. Monitor and Assess Student Language Development
6. Engage and Collaborate within a Community of Practice
