Perception in the new society is another factor that affects students identity and school performance.

-Jokes
-Slang
-Sarcasm 
-Abbreviations ex. "LOL"

*This is especially important for teachers that are teaching Upper Elementary and above, where it's more common to joke or use sarcasm with students. ]]> 2020-11-06 19:03:05 UTC https://padlet.com/minahg/bvfcufgxd1flcwy4/wish/898810730 lisalis1 https://padlet.com/minahg/bvfcufgxd1flcwy4/wish/898812509 2020-11-06 19:03:33 UTC https://padlet.com/minahg/bvfcufgxd1flcwy4/wish/898812509 sulloa5 https://padlet.com/minahg/bvfcufgxd1flcwy4/wish/898822376 Challenges that emergent bilinguals might face: idioms, pronouns (Ex: "Bill said that he is sick" Who is he?) , same words with different meanings, needing cultural background knowledge to understand words (Ex: plantation) pg. 127, etc.]]> 2020-11-06 19:06:09 UTC https://padlet.com/minahg/bvfcufgxd1flcwy4/wish/898822376 brarthur1 https://padlet.com/minahg/bvfcufgxd1flcwy4/wish/898827016 2020-11-06 19:07:22 UTC https://padlet.com/minahg/bvfcufgxd1flcwy4/wish/898827016 lisalis1 https://padlet.com/minahg/bvfcufgxd1flcwy4/wish/898829385 Factor that affects bilingual learners' language development: inconsistency of policy on language use by schools & the student's family.

This suggestion directly connects to our EDUC 403 course where we are learning about the benefits of project based instruction. Reading and writing for a purpose and audience supports reading and writing development!]]> 2020-11-06 19:08:14 UTC https://padlet.com/minahg/bvfcufgxd1flcwy4/wish/898831043 salafita https://padlet.com/minahg/bvfcufgxd1flcwy4/wish/898831946
In our placement classes as well as demonstrated in our practical classwork, we are learning that emphasis on purposeful language is critical to enhance comprehension with our students and especially with our second language learners. ]]> 2020-11-06 19:08:29 UTC https://padlet.com/minahg/bvfcufgxd1flcwy4/wish/898831946 https://padlet.com/minahg/bvfcufgxd1flcwy4/wish/898832939 It was interesting that students' language development mirrors their social development - their language becomes more socially oriented and they begin to speak more abstractly]]> 2020-11-06 19:08:45 UTC https://padlet.com/minahg/bvfcufgxd1flcwy4/wish/898832939 https://padlet.com/minahg/bvfcufgxd1flcwy4/wish/898837035 What stood out to us about this chapter was how vocabulary was introduced after doing the activity.  It seems like a really good way to get kids thinking, as well as scaffolding the learning in a tactile way.  We think it is good for all students, not just English language learners. ]]> 2020-11-06 19:09:50 UTC https://padlet.com/minahg/bvfcufgxd1flcwy4/wish/898837035 https://padlet.com/minahg/bvfcufgxd1flcwy4/wish/898841098 There are developments in conversational style and the types of speech acts students use. It's interesting to be working with 5th graders because I am able to notice developments, especially in conversational style, as we have class discussions. Students are able to stay on topic longer, take the perspective of others (especially from characters from books), and we are able to talk about pretty abstract topics. ]]> 2020-11-06 19:10:59 UTC https://padlet.com/minahg/bvfcufgxd1flcwy4/wish/898841098 https://padlet.com/minahg/bvfcufgxd1flcwy4/wish/898841154 We are hoping to learn more about Menyuk and Brisk's suggestion that we should "ask children to judge the correctness of spoken instances of the language" (144). ]]> 2020-11-06 19:11:00 UTC https://padlet.com/minahg/bvfcufgxd1flcwy4/wish/898841154 salafita https://padlet.com/minahg/bvfcufgxd1flcwy4/wish/898846776 Sabrina, Olivia Kagan, Elana]]> 2020-11-06 19:12:30 UTC https://padlet.com/minahg/bvfcufgxd1flcwy4/wish/898846776 https://padlet.com/minahg/bvfcufgxd1flcwy4/wish/898855575 -It works! :) The teacher helps students to tap into prior experiences and language, and then teaches the vocabulary.

We've been talking about wait time in all of our classes so we just thought it was worth mentioning that this is another reminder about how important that is.

It’s interesting that on page 83, the sequence of events is opposite from what we expected. The book talked about a layout of doing an experiment, covering the key vocabulary,  teacher guided recording and journaling last. Versus doing what you know, then teacher guiding, vocabulary and experimenting in groups. ]]> 2020-11-06 19:18:03 UTC https://padlet.com/minahg/bvfcufgxd1flcwy4/wish/898867257 sulloa5 https://padlet.com/minahg/bvfcufgxd1flcwy4/wish/898872876 -"literate talk" helps students prepare to explain their observations more specifically and clearly
