MELNAP Quotation Mingle 2nd Year Day 1 by Samia Abdulla

The quote that resonates the most with me is that " ELs... require more extensive opportunities to apply language" because it forces students to take in and process the learning in order to acquire, produce, and then apply language.

Quote that resonates with me.

2021-12-14 15:37:10 UTC

To help students distinguish between formal and informal English and to
help them set a target for their own performance, teachers should share
authentic models of spoken academic English with them.

Teachers should remember to let students do more of the talking in class,
and to make sure they are given enough time to express their ideas fully.

Teachers should let students do more talking in class. It is important to be sure they are given time to process and express their ideas. Also, give time after a students responds for processing again.

"Teachers should offer students interesting topics to talk about, but must
ensure they have enough background knowledge and vocabulary to do so." I feel like I need to up my game on equipping students with background knowledge and vocabulary that they can use to express their thoughts on interesting topics.

"Teachers need to establish a safe, respectful, and positive classroom environment." If there isn't a safe classroom environment where students feel like they can take risks, they will not be able to learn to their true potential.

“As with vocabulary development, students need extensive practice with oral interactions in a variety of contexts. Practice should involve listening and speaking but be connected to reading and writing as well.” When students receive new vocabulary in my classroom, I give the English translation where students are to find the Spanish translation. Then we go over the pronunciation of each word by “repeating after the teacher” breaking down each syllable until the students are able to say the word fluidly. With practice of seeing the words and speaking the words the students are to then use the words in context of assignments “sentences using the vocabulary words”.

"Teachers should remember to let students do more of the talking in class, and to make sure they are given enough time to express their ideas fully" Trying to let go of the rains and allowing time for students to interact/give that awkward wait time has always been a struggle. Using strategies such as elbow partners allows for those students who struggle to participate because they may not understand what is being asked of them, to hear their own peers answer and build from there. This way, the student struggling can hear one or multiple answers before being called on.

"Teachers must provide verbal scaffolds such as signal words and academic language frames to help students articulate their thoughts and contributions to classroom discussions." Using authentic academic language, emphasizing signal words, and pausing for clarification and questioning before providing stems helps students develop the register required to articulate their thoughts in discussions.

When adventuring with a new language it is important to provide a welcoming environment that will motivate students to be part of their learning and know that they are able to make mistakes because that is part of the process!

The quote about letting students do more talking is the quote that resonated with me. The thought of that can be overwhelming when we are trying to build academic endurance, and we equate being successful with being "quiet and on task" while completing a task or assignment.

Active Listening

"Students need explicit instruction on how to be active listeners; this can be accomplished by helping them focus on key aspects of the spoken word. Teach them to be responsive listeners as well so they can respond to what they hear and build on classmates' ideas" I focus on helping students provide nonverbal cues to let the speaker know they are listening (eg. taking notes, underlining passages as we talk about them).

I like this because in some experiences in student teaching, there were too many times where students were not allowed to discuss with their table mates during unstructured time.
