English Language Learners (ELLs) face the double challenge of learning academic content as well as the language in which it is presented.
Teachers have traditionally treated language learning as a process of imparting words and structures or rules to students, separate from the process of teaching content knowledge. This approach has left ELLs especially unprepared to work with the complex texts and the academic types of language that are required to engage in content area practices, such as solving word problems in Mathematics, or deconstructing an author’s reasoning and evidence in English Language Arts.
ELLs need to be given frequent, extended opportunities to speak about content material and work through complex texts in English with small groups of classmates. Working closely with Denver Public Schools teachers Ms. Emily Park-Friend (Bruce Randolph School) and Ms. Scaffolding Understanding Purposeful Grouping Background Knowledge. ESL Teachers, Academic Language, and the Common-Core Standards - Learning the Language. Making the rigorous common-core standards in English/language arts and mathematics accessible to every type of learner is a huge undertaking for educators.
In a new special report called Moving Beyond the Mainstream, three of my Education Week colleagues and I try to tackle some of the most central challenges to that endeavor, as teachers in every state but four forge ahead with using the new standards and delivering their instruction in varying ways to meet the needs of all students— those with disabilities, those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, those who are gifted, and those who are still learning English. Teaching Content and Academic Language Concurrently. Posted onFebruary 27, 2013byMaryEllen Vogt One reason that the SIOP Model has struck a nerve with so many educators, in addition to the proven academic gains for English learners, is that teachers see that we cannot wait until English learners are proficient in academic English before we teach them the grade-level content concepts they need to succeed.
Also, teachers have realized that just because students seem to speak English effortlessly when they’re on the playground or in the lunchroom, it doesn’t mean that they have mastered academic English, “the set of words, grammar, and organizational strategies used to describe complex ideas, higher-order thinking processes, and abstract concepts” (Zwiers, 2008, p. 20). Resources / Teaching Academic Language. What is Academic Language?
Academic language is the language used in textbooks, in classrooms, and on assessments. It is different in structure and vocabulary from the everyday spoken English of social interactions and must be taught explicitly. Basic principles of vocabulary instruction: C - Connect: Students remember vocabulary when the word is strongly CONNECTED to what they already know and have experienced. O - Organize: Students remember more information when it is clearly ORGANIZED into meaningful categories D - Deep-Process: Students remember vocabulary when it is DEEPLY PROCESSED through visual, auditory, physical, or emotional experiences. E - Exercise: Students remember vocabulary when they are given the opportunity to EXERCISE the mind through strategic review and practice in a variety of ways.
