English Language Proficiency Standards - these are important to include in the language objectives when lesson planning and for determining which language domains are begin addressed with the lesson.

PLDs

kaydeunwooley — 2023-12-07 18:58:06 UTC

Proficiency Level Descriptors - these are important to refer to when monitoring the progress of the English learners. They also serve as reminders of what students can do at each level of proficiency within each domain of language.

Difference

kaydeunwooley — 2023-12-07 19:05:30 UTC

In a bilingual program, the non-native English speakers all have the same language background, and the teacher speaks both languages as a means of content instruction. In the ESL classroom, the students come from various language backgrounds, and the teacher only speaks English.

Visual

I chose this picture because it explains the big difference between the two programs. The biggest one being how one group speaks various languages and one speaks one different language.

Difference

kaydeunwooley — 2023-12-07 19:13:12 UTC

We know that humans acquire their first language based on the instinct of needing to communicate with others. Conversely, humans acquire a second language through a conscious effort to learn. This basic difference leads to other differences between the two processes.

Theories examples

kaydeunwooley — 2023-12-07 19:19:29 UTC

Language acquisition is the process of learning to communicate effectively and meaningfully in a target language. There are four main theories: linguistic learning, behaviorist, cognitive learning, and interactionist.

Meaning

kaydeunwooley — 2023-12-07 19:26:05 UTC

The structures include words (which are the smallest well-formed units), phrases (which are legal sequences of words), clauses and sentences (which are both legal sequences of phrases). As an analytic language, English uses word order to determine the relationship between different words.

Example

Language is a structured system of communication that consists of grammar and vocabulary. It is the primary means by which humans convey meaning, both in spoken and written forms, and may also be conveyed through sign languages.

Meaning

Formative assessment evaluates student learning as it happens: Once students have access to vocabulary, texts, and concepts through visuals, media, and interaction with the instructors and their peers, I assign them a task that will allow them to further their comprehension collaboratively with their peers.

Example

kaydeunwooley — 2023-12-07 19:43:34 UTC

The four main types of formative assessments are quizzes, exit slips, KWL charts, and S.O.S. Each of these types checks a students' understanding of the content to allow the educator to inform their instruction.

Meaning

kaydeunwooley — 2023-12-07 19:59:40 UTC

We use the term “English language learners” (or ELLs) to talk about students who are learning English. You may use this term or others in your school. Many educators are beginning to use “emergent bilinguals” (EBs) to acknowledge students' bilingual skills.
A SPED kid is a slang term referring to a student in special education. Best practice uses people-first language. SPED kid is best rephrased as a student with a disability.

Example

kaydeunwooley — 2023-12-07 20:04:00 UTC

This is an example of students that would be labeled as SPED. These students need help in class and would be in the Special Education program.

Meaning

The definition of summative assessment is any method of evaluation performed at the end of a unit that allows a teacher to measure a student's understanding, typically against standardized criteria.

Example

kaydeunwooley — 2023-12-07 20:08:46 UTC

Examples of summative assessments include: a midterm exam. a final project. a paper. Overall standard test.

Meaning

We use the term “English language learners” (or ELLs) to talk about students who are learning English. You may use this term or others in your school. Many educators are beginning to use “emergent bilinguals” (EBs) to acknowledge students' bilingual skills. The state's goal for G/T students is to ensure that students who participate in G/T services demonstrate self-directed learning, thinking, research, and communication skills.

Example

kaydeunwooley — 2023-12-07 20:13:42 UTC

Because gifted children are often natural leaders, it is important to invite them to use their talents and abilities in beneficial, rather than disruptive, manners. For example, encourage the gifted student to run for office in student council, or another extracurricular activity in which he/she is involved. In grade school GT students had to do things like the science fair whereas normal students had an option.

Meaning

kaydeunwooley — 2023-12-07 20:15:22 UTC

Aural refers to hearing while oral refers to speaking. By providing an integration of each of these skills, we promote balanced language development and support multiple cognitive connections to new learning.

Example

kaydeunwooley — 2023-12-07 20:18:45 UTC

Strategy One: Adapt Activities to Include Authentic Talk
Strategy Two: Use Activities that Develop Strong Language
Strategy Three: Use Strong Discussion Prompts

Example

4 strategies for effective reading instruction.

#1: Teaching pre-writing

#2: Sentence combining

#3: Studying mentor texts

#4: Shared writing

Meaning

Literacy development is the process of learning words, sounds, and language. Children develop literacy skills in order to learn to read and write confidently and eventually improve their communication skills overall.

Expectations

kaydeunwooley — 2023-12-07 20:38:31 UTC

Science can provide exciting opportunities for students to make discoveries and use their language skills, especially through inquiry-based lessons. This section offers strategies, resources, and guidance for helping ELLs succeed in science, as well information about the Next Generation Science Standards.

Example

kaydeunwooley — 2023-12-07 20:46:11 UTC

Speak slowly, distinctly, and write down key terms – Anyone who has learned a foreign language in class, then traveled to a country where the language is spoken, has noticed that it is difficult to understand natives because they seem to “talk too fast”. Emphasize visual literacy - It is often said that math and music are universal languages –ones that can be read regardless of one’s primary language.

Meaning

kaydeunwooley — 2023-12-07 20:49:35 UTC

A multilingual classroom is a classroom with learners having more than one languages at their disposal (irrespective of level of competence), including learners from migrant backgrounds, such as first- and second-generation and newly-arrived immigrants and refugees. Multicultural classrooms are classrooms that embrace diversity and incorporate ideas, beliefs, or people from different countries and cultural backgrounds.

Example

kaydeunwooley — 2023-12-07 20:51:14 UTC

This is an example of the classrooms. The most important part is to make sure all students feel welcomed and at home.

Meaning

kaydeunwooley — 2023-12-07 20:56:28 UTC

There are several regional varieties of English: General Australian, Standard British English, General American, Standard Scottish English, etc. What is SE in Britain is different from the accepted SE of the United States, India, or Canada.

Example

kaydeunwooley — 2023-12-07 20:57:48 UTC

Scottish English is the set of varieties of the English language spoken in Scotland. The transregional, standardised variety is called Scottish Standard English or Standard Scottish English.

How to teach

kaydeunwooley — 2023-12-07 21:00:42 UTC

Multiple strategies can be used during conversations about the texts students are reading to support the development of students' inferential language. These include asking students to make predictions, engage in problem-solving, make hypotheses, and compare and contrast concepts.

Components

kaydeunwooley — 2023-12-07 21:03:09 UTC

Academic language refers to the oral, written, auditory, and visual language proficiency required to learn effectively in schools and academic programs—i.e., it's the language used in classroom lessons, books, tests, and assignments, and it's the language that students are expected to learn and achieve fluency in.

Example

kaydeunwooley — 2023-12-07 21:05:34 UTC

A well-written language objective will tell students exactly what they need to learn and how they will express the new knowledge and skills of the lesson. An example of a language objective is as follows: The student will be able to write a compound sentence on the board.

What is it

kaydeunwooley — 2023-12-07 21:07:56 UTC

Objective language is a way of talking about things in a way that does not express opinion, feelings, personal biases etc. Being objective means talking in a way that is measurable, quantifiable and is based on data and scientific fact. It also means not exaggerating or distorting the data.

Strategies

kaydeunwooley — 2023-12-07 21:10:31 UTC

1 - Vocabulary Instruction

There are three types of vocabulary: tier 1 is basic vocabulary, tier 2 is grade level vocabulary (terms most native English speakers are familiar with), and tier 3 is low frequency content specific vocabulary. ALL students need explicit instruction in the third tier! Being aware of all 3 types is important, and knowing your students is key in deciding which words might need front-loading before a lesson.

Methods

kaydeunwooley — 2023-12-07 21:34:05 UTC

Teaching methods of mathematics include lecture, inductive, deductive, heuristic or discovery, analytic, synthetic, problem solving, laboratory and project methods. Teachers may adopt any method according to the specific unit of syllabus, available resources and number of students in a class.
