Pre-Production - Students have no verbal production and minimal comprehension - they can respond with physical and visual cues best. Matching games, small group work and many movement/art/music opportunities to help breakup the day.

Early Production: Students have some comprehension and respond with 1-2 words. Ask closed ended questions, do shared reading activities and provide students with sentence starters. Introduce new academic vocabulary, model how to use it, provide visuals, and make connections to student's background knowledge.

Speech Emergent: During this stage students can comprehend English pretty well and speak in simple sentences. During this stage start using more open-ended questions and expand student thoughts. Restate and expand their learning and language. 

Beginning Fluency: In this stage, students have become fairly fluent in conversations with peers, but new academic vocabulary might be challenging. Allow students time to work with each other often, to give them the time needed to process new language.

Intermediate Fluency: Excellent comprehension and very few grammar errors are made. Use graphic organizers to encourage the student to write in more detail.

Advanced Fluency: Near native speech.]]> 2020-10-19 22:51:07 UTC https://padlet.com/hedge_jessie/tg11704q6fm4ycty/wish/843001263 hedge_jessie https://padlet.com/hedge_jessie/tg11704q6fm4ycty/wish/843003699 2020-10-19 22:52:57 UTC https://padlet.com/hedge_jessie/tg11704q6fm4ycty/wish/843003699 hedge_jessie https://padlet.com/hedge_jessie/tg11704q6fm4ycty/wish/843004229 Record new lessons, instruction or even read aloud's for ELL students to rewatch later.

2.  An emphasis on oral language is an essential element of an effective language and literacy development program. 

3.  Language develops most powerfully when it is in the context of building knowledge about something and interacting with the world. 

4.  English Learners require specific, specially designed instruction, and support in order to access, comprehend and participate effectively in school. 

5.  Development of the home language in addition to English is critical because it contributes to growth in both English and the child’s home language – and accrues life-long benefits to the child.

6. Strong relationships between home and school are a cornerstone of powerful education for English Learner children.

Unfortunately, historically we have believed that quiet classrooms are good classrooms. We have thought that rows of students who compliantly listen while the teacher imparts knowledge into empty receptacles are best practice. Instead, what we must develop in a classroom setting is a culture of talking about academic topics. We must find the language in the curriculum and elicit the voices in our classrooms…There must be a commitment to academic oral language development by everyone in the system in order for ELLs to be successful throughout their schooling experiences.” ELL Shadowing as a Catalyst for Change by Ivannia Soto, pp. 22-23 ]]> 2020-10-21 15:12:41 UTC https://padlet.com/hedge_jessie/tg11704q6fm4ycty/wish/849068760 mscherting https://padlet.com/hedge_jessie/tg11704q6fm4ycty/wish/849309414 Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills (BICS) refer to linguistic skills needed in everyday, social face-to-face interactions.
