It also states that the standards should integrate the language objectives. These two should not be seen as separate checkpoints because, in order for the lesson to be successful, these two standards need to be met. From Colorin Colorado, it states that there are several strategies that can help ELL students. One would be communicating effectively without "dumbing down" the vocabulary. This can be done by speaking clearly and at an adequate pace, avoiding slang/idiomatic expressions, and creating a safe classroom. By creating a safe classroom, the student will feel encouraged to raise their hand if they do not understand a word/phrase without the fear of being picked on by their peers.

In this strategy teachers use an image related to the text to be read, students analyze the image and then discuss what they think the picture is about and what do they think is going on.Each student is to provide justification for what they are saying. The discussion continues and the teachers then summarizes what the students have said and end by reading the text related to the picture. The Language-Stanford and SIOP also provides various strategies. One that I liked was to provide opportunities for students to build on their background knowledge with each, but at the same time allows them to engage with complex texts. This includes allowing children to pair-share, participate in class and group discussions, do group work and presentations.

Students learn better when the material and assessment opportunities are presented in varying manners: writing, speaking, listening, drawing/doing. In order to differentiate effectively, the teacher must get to know as much as possible about each student. Differentiation can also be done with homework assignments, not just in the classroom.
Stanford: Peer Learning for ELLs is also a great strategy which helps students build confidence and allows students to use their peers as models. This helps build strong relationships among students of different background, therefore creating a diverse community within the classroom. Both students benefit from this strategy/technique because they both get to practice their language in a low-stress setting.]]> 2020-12-01 02:22:37 UTC https://padlet.com/olgarubio449/txll3dpqftmqfwv9/wish/974143965 Coloring Colorado: Using sentence frames helps students elaborate their thoughts throughout lessons and scaffolds their English language development. https://padlet.com/olgarubio449/txll3dpqftmqfwv9/wish/974146722 Understanding Language-Stanford & SIOP: It's important to create various ways of allowing students to truly grasp the material being taught.

In Coloring Colorado, it is important for teachers to use scaffolding to support students when needed and shortly not being used at all. It is also important that ELL student's lessons are centered on writing, speaking, and listening to improve their comprehension and vocabulary.

Another strategy they give is starting with a quick-write allowing students to write down their ideas to a given question, grammar free, as it gets them ready for further exploration on the topic.

The article states that graphic organizers facilitate ELLs' comprehension through visual illustrations of key terms, vocabulary, ideas, and the relationship among them. Another benefit of using graphic organizers is that visual illustrations allow ELLs to better understand the material while learning important vocabulary.

1) Using graphic organizers
2) Introducing a text before reading
3) Selecting vocabulary words to teach ELLs
4) Differentiated instruction to meet the student’s needs
5) Building relationships among students of different backgrounds
6) Designing instruction based on students’ strengths

Examples of SIOP strategies are:

1) Helping students connect new concepts with their personal and cultural experiences and past learning
2) Teacher-scaffolded instruction
3) Higher-order thinking skills- ask questions and create projects or tasks that require students to think more critically and apply their language skills in more extended ways.
4) Demonstrations and modeling of tasks, processes, and routines
5) Gestures, pantomime, and movement to make concepts more clear
6) Opportunities for students to engage in role-plays, improvisation, and simulations
7) Visuals and supplementary materials, such as pictures, real objects, illustrations, charts, adapted texts, audiotapes, CDs or online resources
8) Teachers explain the academic tasks they expect students to perform, orally and in writing, with demonstrations, modeling, and sample products as needed

There are many ELL strategies. One of my favorites being "El Dictado" in which a teacher essentially dictates a sentence and has the students write what they hear.
