Spoken English for Multilanguage Learners — Grades 4+

Direct Instruction Spoken English (DISE) is a proven, research-based program that rapidly builds spoken English proficiency for learners in grades 4 and above. Developed by Siegfried “Zig” Engelmann, co-creator of the Direct Instruction model, DISE explicitly teaches how English works—so students can actually use the language, not just recognize it.

Why Educators Choose Direct Instruction Spoken English (DISE)

• Explicit & systematic – No guessing, no gaps, no wasted time
• High engagement – Every student speaks, responds, and participates daily
• Immediate feedback – Instructors correct errors immediately, accelerating learning
• Built-in differentiation – Placement testing ensures students start at their instructional level
• Comprehensive instruction – Learning focuses on both academic and social language
• Progress monitoring – Daily formative assessment opportunities allow instructors to make data-based instructional decisions

Level 1 is for students with little English experience; they spend more time in DISE to build core skills. Level 2 students with some English skills can handle a shorter schedule. See the Teacher’s Guide for more details.
