This will serve as a reminder of what these subjects are and how my students are between either one. Also gives a quick summary of the types of theories surrounding this language area. ]]> 2021-11-21 18:11:35 UTC https://padlet.com/camautwell/smttuhdpd7k5bhnb/wish/1904670701 camautwell https://padlet.com/camautwell/smttuhdpd7k5bhnb/wish/1904672106 Crash course videos were always useful for me. I really enjoyed the visuals and the examples that these creators have. This will serve as a good & quick reminder if I need it. ]]> 2021-11-21 18:13:25 UTC https://padlet.com/camautwell/smttuhdpd7k5bhnb/wish/1904672106 camautwell https://padlet.com/camautwell/smttuhdpd7k5bhnb/wish/1904679226 A great way to promote oral and aural development is through collaboration. There are a few things to consider within a classroom, however. Some things to consider may be: allotted time, speaking & language proficiency levels, and homogeneous/heterogeneous grouping. 

Heterogeneous grouping may be used for students of different language proficiency levels to promote collaboration and peer help. However, students with different native languages may struggle to collaborate, so this is a consideration to make. ]]> 2021-11-21 18:22:38 UTC https://padlet.com/camautwell/smttuhdpd7k5bhnb/wish/1904679226 camautwell https://padlet.com/camautwell/smttuhdpd7k5bhnb/wish/1904683874 There are three tiers to vocabulary development and some examples: 
Tier 1: basic words
- Book
- Girl
- Boy
- Sad
Tier 2: general/all-purpose academic words (high-utility words that cut across all academic content areas)
- Measure
- Fortunate
- Compare
Tier 3: content/domain-area specific words
- Economics
- Isotope
-Revolutionary War

*These tier words will also be changed within grade levels and profiency levels. A student in 2nd grade will not be learning about isotopes within their content areas.

A consideration towards this strategy of aural and oral development is that Tier 2 words are going to be the majority of what students need to know in order to comprehend instruction and texts across their academic content areas. ]]> 2021-11-21 18:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/camautwell/smttuhdpd7k5bhnb/wish/1904683874 camautwell https://padlet.com/camautwell/smttuhdpd7k5bhnb/wish/1904689600 When EB/EL's are being taught reading instruction, there is going to be a transfer between their native language and the language being taught. This can be seen using skills: 

- Word recognition skills acquired in L1 transferred to L2
- Positive transfer of vocabulary knowledge for cognate words
- Use spelling knowledge in L1 when they spell L2

One thing to consider is that there may be some common errors made with reading or spelling comprehension as a student is learning to transfer their skills.

The transferring of reading comprehension occurs in bilinguals of all ages and languages. ]]> 2021-11-21 18:35:39 UTC https://padlet.com/camautwell/smttuhdpd7k5bhnb/wish/1904689600 camautwell https://padlet.com/camautwell/smttuhdpd7k5bhnb/wish/1904698718 The meaning of cognates are words from two languages that have similar meaning or structure. This can be helpful for some words, but other words (as shown above) can be confusing for an english language learner. ]]> 2021-11-21 18:47:18 UTC https://padlet.com/camautwell/smttuhdpd7k5bhnb/wish/1904698718 camautwell https://padlet.com/camautwell/smttuhdpd7k5bhnb/wish/1904709558 The definition I found that was useful in describing Language Varieties is the following, "In sociolinguistics, language variety—also called lect—is a general term for any distinctive form of a language or linguistic expression. Linguists commonly use language variety (or simply variety) as a cover term for any of the overlapping subcategories of a language, including dialect, register, jargon, and idiolect."

This article does a great job in explaining the benefits of having students of a varied language background within the same classroom. This should not be seen as a setback, but as a benefit for all children in the classroom. ]]> 2021-11-21 19:06:44 UTC https://padlet.com/camautwell/smttuhdpd7k5bhnb/wish/1904713181 camautwell https://padlet.com/camautwell/smttuhdpd7k5bhnb/wish/1904718719 https://youtu.be/nzoKIHMRjRM

We have tier 1,2, and 3 of academic language. Tier 2 words require direct instruction. 

We must know that lower-level EB/ELs need supports in Tier 1 and more advanced EB/ELs need supports in Tier 3. ]]> 2021-11-21 19:25:52 UTC https://padlet.com/camautwell/smttuhdpd7k5bhnb/wish/1904727509 camautwell https://padlet.com/camautwell/smttuhdpd7k5bhnb/wish/1904730504 When looking over a lesson and selecting vocabulary words, there are some suggestions: 
Choose at least 5 WORDS per unit or core area (such as math). 
Then, we want to choose brick words (Tier 3) and mortar words (Tier 2). 
Brick words are going to be "high-yield" (academic and content-specific words needed for comprehension on tests). Mortar words are going to be vocabulary found across educational texts or tests. ]]> 2021-11-21 19:30:02 UTC https://padlet.com/camautwell/smttuhdpd7k5bhnb/wish/1904730504 camautwell https://padlet.com/camautwell/smttuhdpd7k5bhnb/wish/1904738487 https://youtu.be/jKE-0H0W86Q

Some language verbs that are consistent with language objectives are: 
define, describe, share, read, respond, and discuss. ]]> 2021-11-21 19:44:29 UTC https://padlet.com/camautwell/smttuhdpd7k5bhnb/wish/1904741962 camautwell https://padlet.com/camautwell/smttuhdpd7k5bhnb/wish/1906603908 Math is not a universal language!!!!! 

- Operationally, mathematics is performed differently throughout the world. 
- Mathematical symbols differ. 
- Technical vocabulary in mathematics differ between languages. 

There are multiple meanings in English that we use for mathematics, such as the word table. There are also subtle ways in which a phrase is worded that we use in mathematics. These differences can create a language barrier for students. ]]> 2021-11-22 17:05:36 UTC https://padlet.com/camautwell/smttuhdpd7k5bhnb/wish/1906603908 camautwell https://padlet.com/camautwell/smttuhdpd7k5bhnb/wish/1906606785 The use of manipulatives can provide visual and conceptual help for students (of all languages). But, in an EB/EL classroom, manipulatives give students a chance to visualize the mathematics concept as they are working through it. ]]> 2021-11-22 17:07:08 UTC https://padlet.com/camautwell/smttuhdpd7k5bhnb/wish/1906606785 camautwell https://padlet.com/camautwell/smttuhdpd7k5bhnb/wish/1906613038 The content area of science requires a multitude of skills that students need to use in order for them to learn. Using hands-on activities helps the lesson become more meaningful for the students. They are being active learners, rather than passive learners.

Here are a few: 

- Provide clear enunciation and longer wait times. 
- Provide several explanations of the same concept by repeating and rephrasing main ideas. 
- Extend or repeat with extensions of students' talk or response. 
- Operate at just slightly above their students' level of competence of a language.

Ability to collect and interpret information, draw conclusions, make generalizations and inferences, determine cause and effect relationships, find alternative courses of action, form hypotheses and predictions, and represent text visually.

- Washback
- Validity
- Reliability
- Authenticity
- Practicality ]]> 2021-11-22 17:40:03 UTC https://padlet.com/camautwell/smttuhdpd7k5bhnb/wish/1906674464 camautwell https://padlet.com/camautwell/smttuhdpd7k5bhnb/wish/1906679106 I think it's equally as important to understand the downfall of some methods of testing just as much as it is on the importance of giving these tests. 

What are some oppositions to standardized testing? 
1. Artifact of "eugenics" movement, which was attempting to sort people based on a perception of intelligence from test results
2. Tests can be misused and invalid 
3. High stakes tests have power & can produce negative consequences
4.

- used at the end of learning and it is to provide recommendations for placement or promotion.
2. Assessments FOR learning
- used to make instructional decisions so that teachers can adapt their teaching to effectively meet student needs and improve learning.

This is a collaborative process of instruction, assessment, and intervention. It is designed for early identification of students who are struggling academically and/or behaviorally.
