The Science of Learning a Second Language

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
What I did:
Focused on grammar over vocabulary. My grammar-based direct instruction curriculum emphasized understanding the structure and syntax of English over the meanings of individual words. I was teaching my students to identify the parts of speech of words they didn't know based on their placement in a sentence they also didn't understand. It was frustrating for all of us.

Why that didn't work:
When you're first learning a new language, you naturally gravitate to the words and phrases that are important to you. If you're traveling, "please" and "thank you" are useful. If you are learning a new style of cooking, you'll want to learn the names of foods. And if you're a baby, your first word will be the most important object in your world (usually 'dada' or 'mama,' or in my son's case, 'panda'). Once you learn those words, you can then build the understanding needed to notice how they are placed in a sentence.

My students showed me this as they repeatedly asked me what words meant, while I unsuccessfully tried to reroute them back to the grammar concept we were learning. Finally, I gave in and started "What does it mean" Wednesdays. They collected English words and phrases they encountered in their daily lives - at work, on the bus, at the doctor's office - and we spent 30 minutes crowdsourcing the definitions. This was easily the most engaged my students were all week - because it mattered to them.

Learning a new language is not easy. Trading outdated instruction for science of reading-backed techniques can help give English language learners the skills they need for biliteracy.

Grade 7 Module 1 Overview Video - The Lost Children of Sudan

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The Module Overview video provides background for families and caregivers to support their students’ literacy learning through the Imagine Learning digital platform. In an EL Module, students dive deeply into a topic. They use this knowledge to develop literacy skills, such as reading, writing, speaking and listening, in a meaningful way. This Module Overview video shares insight into the module topic, the units students will be exploring, and the literacy learning focus. Each Module Overview video also provides fun ways that families can practice the literacy skills students are learning at home. We hope the Module Overview videos provide a preview into the students’ learning so that families, caregivers, and teachers can have conversations successfully supporting their student’s literacy learning! Spanish speaking families can fully engage with our module overview videos by turning on Spanish Closed Captioning. Individual users can turn on Spanish Closed Captions by following the directions below. Steps to turn on Spanish Closed Captions for a Module Overview video: 1. Begin by selecting the video on the Imagine Learning digital platform. 2. Look for the Closed Captions icon. 3. Click on the Closed Captions icon to open the menu. 4. In the Closed Captions menu, select Español. 5. The video should now display closed captions in Spanish as the video plays. 6. To turn off the Spanish closed captions, return to the Closed Captions menu and choose the option to turn off subtitles or select a different language.
