Why Language Objectives?

• Academic achievement requires academic language
  proficiency.
• Academic language proficiency involves the
  vocabulary, language patterns, and register
  specific to individual content areas.
• Academic language proficiency is developed
  through sustained content-based language
  instruction.

8
SIOP ing a Lesson

• Write Content Objectives that
• will be read by students, for students
• will be easy for students to understand
• are given orally and in writing
• are tied to a specific grade-level content
  standard (NC SCS/Content Area)

9
SIOP-ing a Lesson

• Write Language Objectives that
• will be read by students, for students
• will be easy for students to understand
• are given orally and in writing
• are related to the tasks necessary to master the
  content objective

10
How can I lessen the gap?How can I differentiate?

• Use supplementary materials
• Adapt content

11
Supplementary Materials

• Support core curriculum
• make content concepts concrete
• tangible, visible, understandable
• Contextualize learning
• make it real
• Support learning styles
• Support multiple intelligences

12
Examples of supplementary materials

• hands-on manipulatives
• realia (real objects)
• pictures
• visuals
• multimedia
• demonstrations
• related literature
• adapted text

13
Adaptation of Content to all levels of student
proficiency by

• differentiating
• same content objective,
• different input/output/process
• scaffolding
• adjusting content to various learning styles and
  intelligences

14
Examples of adaptation of content

• Graphic organizers
• Leveled study guides
• Highlighted text
• Taped text
• Rewrite text
• Jigsaw reading
• Marginal notes
• Native language texts

15
Meaningful Activities

• Provide opportunities to experience what students
  are learning about
• Allows students to be more successful by relating
  classroom experiences to their own lives

16
BUILDING BACKGROUND

17
Objectives

• Content
• Recognize the importance of connecting students
  personal experiences to lesson concepts.
• Identify strategies for linking past learning
  with new information.

• Language
• Examine text to determine key vocabulary for
  students to learn.
• Incorporate a variety of vocabulary development
  activities into lessons.

18
Building Background

• 1) Link concepts to students background
  experiences.
• 2) Bridge past learning to new concepts.
• 3) Key vocabulary emphasized.

19
1) Link Concepts to Students Background
Experiences

• Discuss students previous personal and academic
  experiences to help bridge meaning.
• Question students backgrounds to preview an
  upcoming topic.
• Following discussion, relate students input and
  directly apply it to the new concept.

20
Ways to Link Students Background

• Realia (REAL OBJECTS), Photos, and Illustrations
  Teachers and/or students bring in real items to
  bring the new concept to life.
• Anecdotal Accounts Teachers and students share
  personal experiences through oral, written or
  drawn explanations. Teacher may prompt through
  questioning.

21
2) Bridge Past Learning to New Concepts

• Integrate new information with what the learner
  already knows.
• Build a bridge from previous learning to new
  concepts for students to cross over.
• Not all students have the ability to make
  connections on their own and benefit from
  teachers explicitly modeling connections.

22
Ways to Bridge Past Learning to New Concepts

• KWL Chart Have students individually or as a
  class create a KWL chart to refer back to
  throughout the unit.
• Questioning Ask a simple question, Who
  remembers what we did yesterday? and solicit
  responses.
• Student Journals Have students write or draw
  what they have learned in a journal or notebook.

23
3) Key Vocabulary

• The most effective way to teach vocabulary is
  when it is presented in the context of new
  concepts, not in isolation.
• Students should be actively involved in their own
  vocabulary development and make it personal.
• Students should be immersed in a vocabulary- rich
  environment.

24
Ways to Teach Key Vocabulary

• Vocabulary Self-Selection Encourage students to
  select vocabulary words that THEY feel are
  essential for their understanding.
• Word Wall Display vocabulary words related to
  the new concept being taught.
• Four Corners Vocabulary Gives the students the
  opportunity to identify, illustrate, define and
  contextualize a vocabulary word.

questions) Predicting (stating 1-3 things learned
based on their questions) Reading (searching for
answers and confirming predictions) Responding
(answering questions and formulating new ones for
the next section) Summarizing (oral or written
summary of key concepts)

43
INTERACTION

44
The Interaction Component includes Four Items

• Interaction
• Grouping Configurations
• Wait Time for Student Responses
• Clarify Key Concepts in L1

45
Content Objectives

• How do interactive activities meet the needs of
  ELs?
• Become familiar with different grouping patterns
• Provide adequate wait time for ELs
• Consider appropriate use of L1 (native language)

46
Language Objectives

• Use interaction to promote language development
• Reduce teacher talk, and increase EL talk
• Examine the role of native language

47
Activity One

• Discuss with your group How does interaction
  benefit ELs?
• For example, interaction encourages elaborated
  responses

48
Compare Your Ideas

• Increases use of academic language
• Improves quality of student talk
• Encourages elaborated responses
• Provides oral rehearsal

• Helps individualize instruction
• Encourages reluctant learners to participate
• Allows for written interaction with dialogue
  journals
• Promotes a positive social climate

49
Activity Two

• Discuss different aspects of facilitating
  interaction. Record notes on the worksheet.
• Group configurations
• Homogenous vs. heterogeneous grouping
• How group members are selected
• Students roles in the group

50
Group Configurations

• Individual work
• Partners
• Triads
• Small groups of four or five
• Whole group

51
Homogenous / Heterogeneous

• Gender

  score her lesson using the SIOP rubric for
  interaction.
• Group roles include reader, recorder,
  facilitator/monitor, and reporter.

55
Do You Give Students Wait Time?

• Do you complete their sentences?
• Do you call on a different student before the
  first student has a chance to respond?
• Do you answer the question before the students?

56
Why Wait?

• ELs need time to translate, often in their head.
  
• Wait time varies by culture.
• ELs need additional time to formulate the
  phrasing of their thoughts, because they are
  processing ideas in a new language.

57
Wait Time Strategies

• Allow students to write down their answers while
  waiting for other students to respond.
• Build in wait time, On the count of 3 we will
  all respond.
• Use 50-50, giving students a choice between two
  possible answers
• Use phone a friend, allowing students to ask
  for help.

58
Use of Native Language in the Classroom

• Establish rules or expectations for native
  language (L1) use.
• Clarification of key concepts in students L1
  supports academic learning

59
Appropriate use of L1 in the Classroom

• Assistance from peers.
• Materials written in the students L1
• Use caution with online translators (idiomatic
  speech vs. word for word translation)

60
Content Objectives

• How do interactive activities meet the needs of
  ELs?
• Become familiar with different grouping patterns
• Provide adequate wait time for ELs

64
Think it over

• Why is using a variety of hands-on classroom
  activities important?
• How are you using hands-on activities and
  manipulatives to enhance opportunities for
  English language learners to apply both language
  and content knowledge ?

65
Key Definitions

• Practice refers to the opportunities provided
  to English language learners to become familiar,
  analyze and/or experiment with content and
  language topics.
