Remake of Brain Board: Language Learning Strategies & Resources by Kate Johnson https://padlet.com/KateJohnson/rdymn5hrzlo3uh62 Add as many resources and strategies as you can under each language domain. en-us 2021-04-29 00:54:06 UTC 2024-10-25 13:38:29 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f913.png Think-Pair-Square KateJohnson https://padlet.com/KateJohnson/rdymn5hrzlo3uh62/wish/1471620906 Think-Pair-Square. This technique builds on the partner talk we ask students to engage in throughout the lesson. We use this when
 posing questions that require more conversation. After partners discuss
 a question, they join another set of partners to extend their ideas. Once the four students have met, we shift back to whole-class discussion of
 the topic. A benefit we find over the course of the first month is that they become more adept at using features of accountable talk, especially in building on the ideas of one another. ]]> 2021-04-29 00:54:06 UTC https://padlet.com/KateJohnson/rdymn5hrzlo3uh62/wish/1471620906 Minimal Pairs KateJohnson https://padlet.com/KateJohnson/rdymn5hrzlo3uh62/wish/1471620908 Pairs of words that differ in a single phonological element. 

Select phonemes that are challenging for your ELL's. Use this strategy to help students listen for or practice phonological differences.

I have used this as a scaffold in both Math and Science content areas! ]]> 2021-04-29 00:54:06 UTC https://padlet.com/KateJohnson/rdymn5hrzlo3uh62/wish/1471620915 Substitution Tables KateJohnson https://padlet.com/KateJohnson/rdymn5hrzlo3uh62/wish/1471620920 This is a writing scaffold that takes away the cognitive load of ordering words into the right places in a sentence without taking away the content/topic of study. Substitution tables allow EAL students to select words or phrases from multiple columns to build a sentence showing their thinking. 

See example attached.

Find a video that supports your content area and provide language learners an opportunity to listen in their home language. Follow this with an output activity where students produce a product in English. 

Use transcripts (in various languages) to create cloze-passages, video previews, or have students follow along to promote fluency.
