One way to acknowledge and leverage this in the classroom is through heterogenous grouping in which peers can offer support to each other.]]> 2021-07-02 20:42:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jfuerbri/99ly2pw26wokakyx/wish/1635290415 https://padlet.com/jfuerbri/99ly2pw26wokakyx/wish/1637554667 A simultaneous bilingual grows up learning two languages at once (two L1s).

Example: a student who learns both Spanish and English in the home (usually used when student is engaged in two languages before the age of 5)

Many emergent bilinguals today are simultaneous bilinguals!]]> 2021-07-05 16:45:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jfuerbri/99ly2pw26wokakyx/wish/1637554667 https://padlet.com/jfuerbri/99ly2pw26wokakyx/wish/1637554897
Krashen argued that students acquire a language when it is comprehensible (i + 1) 

Some examples of strategies that might support comprehensible input: use practical demonstrations, mother tongue when possible, familiar language (simple synonyms), provide context, etc.

As teachers, creating welcoming, intentional, and supportive learning environments with lots of low-risk participation activities can help lower the affective filter of emergent bilinguals.]]> 2021-07-05 16:45:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jfuerbri/99ly2pw26wokakyx/wish/1637554947 https://padlet.com/jfuerbri/99ly2pw26wokakyx/wish/1637554972 Scaffolding is a concept that builds upon Vygotsky's notion of the ZPD. Scaffolds are supports that enable (EB) students to engage with new knowledge/skills just beyond what they can do independently.

Scaffolds may be graphic, interpersonal, linguistic, or visual/sensory (among others). 

"temporary, but essential, nature of the mentor's assistance" in supporting learners to carry out tasks successfully

*support that leads to student independence in skills, concepts, and levels of understanding.

Implementations in School:
- Dual language approach
- late exit developmental
- End goal is to support students in L1 & L2
- Biliteracy is the goal

Are there other additive approaches? Or is dual language the only approach?

If we can support L1 (but we aren't fluent in the language) would this be considered additive?  ]]> 2021-07-05 16:46:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jfuerbri/99ly2pw26wokakyx/wish/1637555213 https://padlet.com/jfuerbri/99ly2pw26wokakyx/wish/1637556850 Cross-linguistic transfer is defined as language learners' use of linguistic knowledge of one of their languages to leverage the learning of another language. Theories on cross-linguistic transfer shed light upon the role of L1 in promoting L2 or foreign language learning since all languages share a base structure.

Bilingual programs provide students with greater and easier access to curricular content and higher levels of literacy because they can facilitate cross-linguistic transfer.

*Students develop BICS quicker than CALP, so even if EBs are speaking proficiently within social contexts, this does NOT mean that they no longer need scaffolds in academic contexts.

*CALP takes 5-10 years for true development

From misunderstanding BICS and CALP, teacher may experience frustration with hearing EB talk on playground vs them not understanding classwork (or even worse, students may be misidentified as having a learning disability when they simply need additional language supports).

When investment is high, emergent bilinguals are likely to see the value in and importance behind acquiring a second language and therefore have more success with it.  Instead of assuming that our students aren't motivated to do the work, asking to which extent students are invested in their learning.]]> 2021-07-05 16:48:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jfuerbri/99ly2pw26wokakyx/wish/1637557834 https://padlet.com/jfuerbri/99ly2pw26wokakyx/wish/1637559887 Subtractive Bilingualism relates to EL programs whose goal is focused on only L2, or in our case, English proficiency (vs. L1 AND L2 proficiency)

Example of subtractive programs:
- ESL push in
- ESL pull out
-sheltered immersion

All of these programs focus on English acquisition. Even if L1 is incorporated into the lesson, as students progress through school, L1 is used less and English (L2) is predominant.

Students need to participate in meaningful contexts while they also use the language themselves.  This helps them process the language more deeply.  Engaging in the process of producing output increases language acquisition.]]> 2021-07-05 20:13:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jfuerbri/99ly2pw26wokakyx/wish/1637719964
