In all content areas, we have Learning Objectives, although adding a Language Objectives can assist LTELS' comprehension of the content area

Language objectives are lesson objectives that are specifically designed to promote students' language development through all four language domains: reading, writing, speaking and listening.

Step 1: 
When creating language objectives you should begin by clarifying and identifying the following:

  • Content objective – identify the content objective that you plan to supplement with language objectives.
  • Knowledge of Student Levels – build an understanding of students’ language proficiency levels so that you know how to adjust the language objectives. Identify levels via Ellevation. 
  • Domain – identify the domain (Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing) that you plan to focus on.

Step 2:
Craft a language objective composed of the following three components:

  1. Language function – the purpose, which includes a verb or action that describes what a student should do (e.g., identify, interpret, evaluate, describe)
  2. Support – identifies the supports and scaffolds (sensory, graphic, interactive) that the students will need (e.g., vocabulary sheets, visuals, etc.)
  3. Link to Content – the link to the content topic

Step 3:

-Need support in academic English
-Display learned passivity & invisibility 
-At high risk of dropping out of high school ]]> 2021-12-15 21:16:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kemaritz/wyujbfl083krgcc5/wish/1950443639 High Academic Expectations for LTEL's mherrera182 https://padlet.com/kemaritz/wyujbfl083krgcc5/wish/1950489691 1) "No Opt Out" when students participate in the classroom
- Implement Strategies to effectively encourage students to participate in classroom discussions so they understand that " I don't know" is not an acceptable answer.
2) Avoid "rounding up" answers that students give. Acknowledge their answers but do not credit them for something they didn't say.

 High Expectations for All Learners:
-It's important that teachers understand the student's culture and community.
-Differentiate social language and academic language.
-Creating daily opportunities to interact with peers about the lesson’s content. 
-Using language frames to support development of writing and oral language.
-Teaching a set of academic vocabulary words intensively over several days. 
- Using cognates across languages when possible (e.g., production and producción). -Providing multiple exposures to and experiences with key academic vocabulary  ]]> 2021-12-15 21:52:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kemaritz/wyujbfl083krgcc5/wish/1950489691 Winter 2021-2022 LTEL ELPAC Listening kemaritz https://padlet.com/kemaritz/wyujbfl083krgcc5/wish/2026011323 2022-02-02 18:18:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kemaritz/wyujbfl083krgcc5/wish/2026011323 Winter 2021-2022 LTEL ELPAC Reading kemaritz https://padlet.com/kemaritz/wyujbfl083krgcc5/wish/2026012541 2022-02-02 18:19:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kemaritz/wyujbfl083krgcc5/wish/2026012541 Winter 2021-2022 LTEL ELPAC Speaking kemaritz https://padlet.com/kemaritz/wyujbfl083krgcc5/wish/2026015037 2022-02-02 18:20:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kemaritz/wyujbfl083krgcc5/wish/2026015037 Winter 2021-2022 LTEL ELPAC Writing kemaritz https://padlet.com/kemaritz/wyujbfl083krgcc5/wish/2026017537 2022-02-02 18:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kemaritz/wyujbfl083krgcc5/wish/2026017537 General ELPAC Level Descriptors kemaritz https://padlet.com/kemaritz/wyujbfl083krgcc5/wish/2026023098 https://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/ep/elpacgpld.asp]]> 2022-02-02 18:24:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kemaritz/wyujbfl083krgcc5/wish/2026023098
