The lesson plan uses songs and crafts to keep students engaged as they learn basic conversations, words and activities. It also uses many games that the students can play, especially to get the wiggles out of the youngsters. It is a great lesson plan to help introduce students to the English Language. ]]> 2022-03-16 18:31:47 UTC https://padlet.com/vestkm/xdv8q7ju6lffe4at/wish/2098623747 Elementary Lesson 2 https://padlet.com/vestkm/xdv8q7ju6lffe4at/wish/2098632403 This lesson plan can be used for 2nd or 3rd grade, but every grade of Elementary could benefit from this lesson. It is a more basic lesson on the parts of the body. So, for any new student that has moved into the school, this would be a perfect lesson to help them learn the different parts of the body. It incorporates a couple of games and activities for the students to play to help keep them engaged in the content, and better learn the parts of the body. ]]> 2022-03-16 18:37:02 UTC https://padlet.com/vestkm/xdv8q7ju6lffe4at/wish/2098632403 Middle School Lesson 1 https://padlet.com/vestkm/xdv8q7ju6lffe4at/wish/2098638075 In the first middle school lesson, it discusses common errors new English speakers face when learning the new language. Common errors such as: there, their and they're, may and can, and many more are written in a way for the teacher to help their students understand these common pitfalls of English. For any student to become fluent in English, it is important to fix these common mistakes to help them become better writers and speakers. The lesson is at a higher level, and would be more fitting for students in 8th grade. ]]> 2022-03-16 18:40:41 UTC https://padlet.com/vestkm/xdv8q7ju6lffe4at/wish/2098638075 Middle School Lesson 2 https://padlet.com/vestkm/xdv8q7ju6lffe4at/wish/2098638981 Verbs are an important structure of the English language, and something that requires a lot of practice to learn. This lesson for 7th graders will cover the topic of different types of verbs such as: present tense, past tense, past perfect, ect. The lesson plan gives a basic description of each type of verb for the teacher to then help the students understand. You could use the lesson plan to cover one verb type a day or cover multiple at a time. Knowing this topic will better help students to understand and better express things they did, do, and will do during the day. ]]> 2022-03-16 18:41:20 UTC https://padlet.com/vestkm/xdv8q7ju6lffe4at/wish/2098638981 High School Lesson 1 https://padlet.com/vestkm/xdv8q7ju6lffe4at/wish/2098648639 This lesson would be very helpful for 9th or 10th graders. It helps them to express ideas and feeling that they have about the future. First going through magazines to create a dream board, it will help them read and recognize words as they create their board, and then as they finish making their board, they will then be able to talk about it and share it with their peers. This will help them broaden their vocabulary about things that they enjoy. ]]> 2022-03-16 18:48:09 UTC https://padlet.com/vestkm/xdv8q7ju6lffe4at/wish/2098648639 High School Lesson 2 https://padlet.com/vestkm/xdv8q7ju6lffe4at/wish/2098649856 The following lesson is about the difference between slang and formality. After living in the United States for many years, students will be able to pick up a lot of slang from their peers, however it is important to teach students the difference between formal talk and conversation you would have with your friends. In the lesson, it has several examples of slang, and how you can help fix those examples to make it more formal. This lesson would be for 11 and 12th graders as they are preparing to enter either college or the work world. Either way, it will be important for them to learn how to talk formally. ]]> 2022-03-16 18:48:59 UTC https://padlet.com/vestkm/xdv8q7ju6lffe4at/wish/2098649856 Drita, My Homegirl (3rd-5th grade) vestkm https://padlet.com/vestkm/xdv8q7ju6lffe4at/wish/2098746228 Fleeing war-torn Kosovo, ten-year-old Drita and her family move to America with the dream of living a typical American life. But with this hope comes the struggle to adapt and fit in. How can Drita find her place at school and in her new neighborhood when she doesn't speak any English? Meanwhile, Maxie and her group of fourth-grade friends are popular in their class, and make an effort to ignore Drita. So when their teacher puts Maxie and Drita together for a class project, things get off to a rocky start.

As if that wasn’t hard enough, she also has to adjust to the hearing culture, which she finds frustrating—and also surprising when some classmates, including Beau Watson, take time to learn ASL. As Maya looks past graduation and focuses on her future dreams, nothing, not even an unexpected romance, will not derail her pursuits. But when people in her life—Deaf and hearing alike—ask her to question parts of her Deaf identity, Maya stands proudly, never giving in to the idea that her Deafness is a disadvantage.]]> 2022-03-16 21:06:45 UTC https://padlet.com/vestkm/xdv8q7ju6lffe4at/wish/2098817765 Through The Language Glass (9th-12th Grade) vestkm https://padlet.com/vestkm/xdv8q7ju6lffe4at/wish/2098819981 The debate is ages old: Where does language come from? Is it an artifact of our culture or written in our very DNA? In recent years, the leading linguists have seemingly settled the issue: all languages are fundamentally the same and the particular language we speak does not shape our thinking in any significant way. Guy Deutscher says they're wrong. From Homer to Darwin, from Yale to the Amazon, and through a strange and dazzling history of the color blue, Deutscher argues that our mother tongues do indeed shape our experiences of the world. Audacious, delightful, and provocative, Through the Language Glass is destined to become a classic of intellectual discovery.]]> 2022-03-16 21:09:06 UTC https://padlet.com/vestkm/xdv8q7ju6lffe4at/wish/2098819981 Two Roads (6th-7th grade) vestkm https://padlet.com/vestkm/xdv8q7ju6lffe4at/wish/2098821895 It's 1932, and twelve-year-old Cal Black and his Pop have been riding the rails for years after losing their farm in the Great Depression. Cal likes being a "knight of the road" with Pop, even if they're broke. But then Pop has to go to Washington, DC--some of his fellow veterans are marching for their government checks, and Pop wants to make sure he gets his due--and Cal can't go with him. So Pop tells Cal something he never knew before: Pop is actually a Creek Indian, which means Cal is too. And Pop has decided to send Cal to a government boarding school for Native Americans in Oklahoma called the Challagi School.
At school, the other Creek boys quickly take Cal under their wings. Even in the harsh, miserable conditions of the Bureau of Indian Affairs boarding school, he begins to learn about his people's history and heritage. He learns their language and customs. And most of all, he learns how to find strength in a group of friends who have nothing beyond each other.]]> 2022-03-16 21:10:57 UTC https://padlet.com/vestkm/xdv8q7ju6lffe4at/wish/2098821895 Other Words From Home (6th-8th grade) vestkm https://padlet.com/vestkm/xdv8q7ju6lffe4at/wish/2098832853 Jude never thought she’d be leaving her beloved older brother and father behind, all the way across the ocean in Syria. But when things in her hometown start becoming volatile, Jude and her mother are sent to live in Cincinnati with relatives.

At first, everything in America seems too fast and too loud. The American movies that Jude has always loved haven’t quite prepared her for starting school in the US—and her new label of “Middle Eastern,” an identity she’s never known before.

But this life also brings unexpected surprises—there are new friends, a whole new family, and a school musical that Jude might just try out for. Maybe America, too, is a place where Jude can be seen as she really is.

Teachers need to be prepared to work with linguistic diversity (and also cultural diversity) and be given possibilities to do this well. This thesis research project studies the experiences, attitudes, and knowledge of kindergarten teachers regarding multilingualism in the classroom. Overall, teachers know how to support multilingual children (by scaffolding and differentiating/individualizing their lessons). However, offering these extra forms of support makes it difficult to meet all students' needs. The findings also show that teachers know how to work with children going through the silent or non-verbal period and children who show (language)interference, but that extraordinarily few teachers are aware of the importance of the home languages. It is therefore necessary to shift the focus from language to a focus on "languaging" at home and in school. Instead of advising parents to speak Dutch at home, teachers should stimulate parents to talk more with their children and bring the act of languaging to the foreground, not replace the home language(s) by the second.]]> 2022-03-29 02:16:38 UTC https://padlet.com/vestkm/xdv8q7ju6lffe4at/wish/2118378476 Teaching Language Variation in the Classroom: Strategies and Models from Teachers and Linguists https://padlet.com/vestkm/xdv8q7ju6lffe4at/wish/2118410762 Bringing together the varied and multifaceted expertise of teachers and linguists in one accessible volume, this book presents practical tools, grounded in cutting-edge research, for teaching about language and language diversity in the ELA classroom.

Students' grammar skills and strategies may be different outside of school. Their grammar is correct it is just a part of a different grammar system than the one they learn in school. The way they speak has to do with their native language and ethnicity.

On February 21st some people celebrate International Mother Language Day. This day is to celebrate and keep all of the languages in the world. This idea came from Bangladesh. Rafiqul Islam and Abdus Salam, two Bengalis wrote a letter to the Secretary_general asking to have an International Mother Language Day. This day was wanted to save the world's languages from complete extinction. The order and request arose protests among the Bengali-speaking majority. The Pakistan government outlawed public meetings. Students of the University of Dhaka arranged big rallies. Police started firing at the rallies killing Abdus Salam, Abdul Jabbar, Rafiq Uddin Ahmed, Abul Barkat, and injuring hundreds of others. People sacrificed their lives to keep their mother language. Later justice was brought and the government granted official status to the Bengali language.

Language is much more than just how people talk. It is proof of our traditions, history, and identity that is passed from one generation to the next. The language will help to succeed and progress future generations and heritages. Each person's language has a direct correlation to their identity.

There are about 7,000 languages spoken in the world with different vocabularies, grammar, and spellings. Do languages shape the way we think? Scientist Lera Boroditsky shares multiple examples of how different languages work in our world. Every place has their own slang, form of reading, and communication styles. Linguistic Diversity reveals to us how ingenious and flexible the human mind really is. Our mind isn't made of just one cognitive mind but more like 7,000. Languages do shape the way we think.]]> 2022-04-04 05:56:33 UTC https://padlet.com/vestkm/xdv8q7ju6lffe4at/wish/2128029377 https://padlet.com/vestkm/xdv8q7ju6lffe4at/wish/2130878043 https://kidworldcitizen.org/the-culturally-inclusive-classroom-an-interview-with-dr-hines-gaither/
This podcast is mainly focused on world language teachers and teaches how we can embrace the culture of each diverse language in the classroom. When promoting a culturally inclusive environment in the classroom we are not just celebrating diversity but also building relationships with students from all cultural backgrounds. We learn how to incorporate social justice and diverse tongue in classes. The podcast highlights the rich cultures of the languages that Dr. Hines-Gaither teaches. We as teachers are preparing our students to build bridges in this interconnected world to embrace diversity, especially within linguistics.]]> 2022-04-05 15:10:30 UTC https://padlet.com/vestkm/xdv8q7ju6lffe4at/wish/2130878043 https://padlet.com/vestkm/xdv8q7ju6lffe4at/wish/2130895648 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/building-equity-and-resiliency-with-esl-students/id1486008135?i=1000524332631

This podcast highlights adjustments that teachers can make in a classroom to enable students that are deaf to participate in class on the same lines as their peers. There are multiple types of hearing loss. Some students may be either completely deaf or partially deaf. The loss of hearing can come from disease, accident, or just being born that way. Hearing loss has a straight correlation to the student's ability to learn. They may be more sensitive to different sounds, can't hear or understand the teacher, and can't participate in group settings. This podcast, tells how we as teachers can and should make accommodations for our deaf students so they have the best learning experience as everyone else. ]]> 2022-04-05 15:30:01 UTC https://padlet.com/vestkm/xdv8q7ju6lffe4at/wish/2130917073 vestkm https://padlet.com/vestkm/xdv8q7ju6lffe4at/wish/2132727947
