2. Building Background
3. Comprehensible Input
4. Strategies
5. Interaction
6. Practice/Application

8. Review & Assessment

Portfolios, therefore, can be used by educators to determine how well an educational program works."

> "...an assessment portfolio system is one of the few assessment approaches that accommodate a wide range of learner abilities....The fact that portfolios can demonstrate growth is particularly important for English language learners. Because portfolios are designed to be inclusive and contain authentic descriptions of what students can do, even English language learners at the beginning levels of English proficiency can participate."

The value of a portfolio is inherent in its link to authenticity....The use of portfolios in the assessment of ESL students is effective when the principle of authenticity fully embraces the linguistic and social realities of this student. A portfolio is authentic in that its contents go beyond the collection of traditional worksheets, graded assignments and end-of-unit tests to include a variety of items. These items are samples of a student's broad performance - what and how he or she reads, writes, communicates, and accomplishes tasks. Loyalty to the linguistic and social realities of ESL students means that the teacher collects portfolio samples that reflect work and experiences from the following contexts: (a) within the classroom and "real world" situations; (b) in the form of academic assignments and non-academic tasks; and (c) in English and/or the native language of the student. Further, to benefit ESL student assessment, sensitivity displayed in the collection of portfolio samples is accompanied by an honest judgement of the portfolio based on the broad performances that are displayed, regardless of context or language. Specifically, judgement is focused not just on the acquisition of skills and facts but on (1) modes of thinking expressed in any language or work strategy that aids in the completion of a task, however unconventional these may be, (2) on the diligence exhibited in all tasks, and (3) the degree of growth and improvement relevant to set objectives. The teacher who is sensitive to the ESL student knows that what's important in the end is that the student can figure out assignments, compare and contrast virtually anything, grasp underlying meanings and relationships, and make thoughtful, sound decisions."]]> 2021-01-31 20:53:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jdh3888/5i14p9928uq2risu/wish/1146281784 jdh3888 https://padlet.com/jdh3888/5i14p9928uq2risu/wish/1146305208 > A major consideration here will be whether students or teachers, or both, will build the portfolio

"Translanguaging as pedagogy refers to any instance in which the students' home language practices are used to leverage learning. In some cases, the teacher plans those translanguaging spaces actively and supports them through teacher-led specific activities. In other cases, the teacher allows those translanguaging spaces to happen moment-to-moment, as she engages bilingual students in learning and students themselves make choices about their language use."]]> 2021-01-31 21:13:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jdh3888/5i14p9928uq2risu/wish/1146312761 jdh3888 https://padlet.com/jdh3888/5i14p9928uq2risu/wish/1146326901 "'Being stuck' - academic struggles and lack of progress toward English proficiency - is the key to defining Long Term ELLs, not the number of years it takes them to become English proficient."]]> 2021-01-31 21:23:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jdh3888/5i14p9928uq2risu/wish/1146326901 jdh3888 https://padlet.com/jdh3888/5i14p9928uq2risu/wish/1146333025 This seems like an important consideration when approaching methods for supporting ELLs.

Teachers explicitly remind students to store their best work throughout their time at Hoover and students participate in a portfolio seminar course in the semester prior to the senior exhibition in order to compile and present their best possible work. Students present the portfolios to community members and faculty in a formal event during the spring of their senior year. The portfolios are evaluate at the event and participation in the showcase is a graduation requirement. Seniors preparing for this important event take pride in the presentation of their cumulative work and look forward to sharing their academic accomplishments with faculty and community members."
