Language impacts student success greatly. The use of ALL strategies are so important and should be implemented. In that it allows the language learner the necessary scaffolds to help them access the text. Within time the supports in place can be slowly released and the students can feel safe and confident to take risks.

I think it's important to switch gears too so that students know that we are all humans and we will make mistakes in language but it's important for them to know and also improve their ability. Have to make mistakes to learn.

Language is vital in the ELA classroom. We discuss proper academic discourse and introduce vocabulary associated with tier 1, 2,  & 3 words which create the diction both denotatively and connotatively so students learn the proper communication expected in career and college readiness as well as the rigor of higher level thinking.

Discourse is built through practice and familiar language can be used and then modified. It is much like initial writes and then rewrites—we edit and revise and academic discourse skills work the same way.

Language is embedded in everything we do as educators. Whether it's subject-specific jargon (or academic language) students need to know or just the simple act of being able to communicate ideas to the teacher and to one another, everything we do is facilitated through the use of language. It's interesting how that has changed and adapted as we have moved online. It's a brave new world this year, for sure.

In addition, using correct math terms to understand and enhance learning.

I would like to add the importance of students being able to use vocabulary familiar to them that is appropriate. Only speaking formal academic language could exclude or close the opportunity gap for some students.

Language impacts success immensely.  Various factors impact a student's language (i.e. home language, academic language, etc.)
Students learning to use academic language in an academic setting will teach them that there is an appropriate/different language to use in an academic setting rather than only informal language.

Language is especially important in virtual learning because often students are listening (but not watching) while they work on another assignment on the screen.

How are we measuring success? I teach science, which is very vocabulary heavy. I think sometimes, science teachers can focus too much on vocab rather than larger concepts. It's a hard thing to balance. I think the use of academic language can be a big ask, and without showing students how to use their resources, it can be quite overwhelming.

Language can be impactful in any ways. How they desire an object, how they fashion a response. It can also vary depending on their family unit. They may have different words they use because of family origin, parent age, etc.. Language help to show who they uniquely are.

being inclusive and accessing prior knowledge helps to establish relationships and when students feel safe they will be more ready to learn and see the value in academic language as an opportunity. It builds on what they already have instead of taking away what they had, devaluing their contributions

My primary role is to support language learners so my for my students, language significantly impacts their access to rigorous instruction in particular when language is expressed in reading and writing.

I feel as though more of us need to spend more time explicitly teaching academic language. Too often, we "teach" it once and expect students to get it.

Language has a great impact in the classroom in multiple ways. Students need to be able to see and hear language via print media and the modeled language. Language is currency in the classroom. I think it's unnatural to walk into a tomb at school. How do I know students are practicing language if I don't hear language?

I appreciate the need to know how to code switch as code switching is a handy tool to have.

Language impacts student success greatly. The use of syntax and vocabulary within the content is important, so students who may not have a good understanding of language may not fully comprehend what is being taught. It's important in math to model the vocab.

Although I am not in a traditional classroom, I interact with a variety of students. I see language impacting student success by their use of slang and their connotation to specific words. Connecting to students with their language, makes it easier to connect with them and discuss behavior choices.

Language is very important in ELA. We use language to communicate through our reading, writing and speaking, listening. If students don't understand the instructions, they are lost on the assignments.

It's important to use academic language, in order to prepare them for interviews and things they need for "the real world."

Language can empower when you teach it first. Some strategies: pre-load vocabulary (with pictures as well); provide sentence starters; have students share with a partner or each other before sharing with class to give them time to safely practice.

Language in science can at time be confusing because it may have another connotation in casual conversation. I try to draw comparisons and point out words that can be confusing to learners.

I think accessing/speaking informal language is crucial to tie together connections with academic language in science.
