Relationen mellan språkutveckling och kunskapsutveckling I skolan finns elever med svenska som andraspråk. De flesta av dem deltar i undervisning som inte sker på deras modersmål. I vissa skolor utgör dessa elever 90-100 procent av eleverna. I den här artikeln beskriver Åsa Wedin en studie över hur svenska som andraspråk utvecklas i ämnesundervisningen. Hon har i sin studie fokuserat olika mönster för interaktion, ämneskunskaper och elevers engagemang i klassrummet. Hennes teoretiska utgångspunkt är sociokulturell vilket innebär att lärande är en social företeelse som sker i interaktion med andra människor. Relationen mellan språkutveckling och kunskapsutveckling Åsa Wedin har använt sig av observationer och intervjuer med lärare och elever samt elevtexter för att förstå relationen mellan klassrumsinteraktion, ämneskunskaper och elevers engagemang. I artikeln återger Åsa Wedin fyra exempel som representerar varsin typ av interaktion och som var dominerande i de två klassrummen. Vad är då utmärkande för samtalen? Generellt menar Åsa Wedin att:

And yet, despite the complete exhaustion it brings us, we hang in there. Why do we do it? Why It’s Hard If you’re responsible for any number of human beings, you know that it’s difficult to facilitate effective group work — whether you’re working with children or adults. Set Yourself Up For Success During my ten years in the classroom, I did a lot more wrong than I did right. Define An End Goal Because collaboration is a bit of a “grey phrase” (what it means to you may be different than what it means to me; what it means in one context may be different than in another), it’s really important to get clear on your operating definition.

Katie Clements | Resource - Full AMAZING LEARNING continues at TCRWP! Session 1 Liz Dunford Franco – State of the Art Curriculum to Support First Grade Readers We began with a study of mini-lessons in the first grade Book 1 of the new Reading Units of Study. With a partner, we read a sample, role played it and then debriefed with table groups with these questions in mind: How are students engaged across these lessons? What does the teacher do? What does the student do? Liz shared some tips for reading the lessons with our group. Use a highlighter to mark the language so you are clear and consistent. Teaching Point – echo the language in the plan Connection- This is where you can add your own personal touch and make it relevant but keep it short and sweet. Make notes to yourself – ( My thinking – Consider a different color of post it for what you as teacher need to do or say in advance so everyone has “materials” needed.) What does kid watching look like at the beginning of the year in first grade? Self – start Work with partner 1.
