Which comes first? Chicken or egg? Content skills or academic language proficiency? Must teach content and language objectives.
Of course, there are many more elements of effective instruction that are applicable to all learners – for instance, teachers must establish high standards for their students, engage and motivate their students, and create supportive environments that reaffirm their students’ cultural backgrounds. However, these 6 elements have particular importance for adolescent LEP students, particularly newcomers. Content-area reading and writing is challenging to ELLs and native English speakers. Students need support with the language, text structures, and types of writing required in content classes. 40% of EOGs are content-based readings. Who is better equipped than the content teacher in comprehending history, math, science texts? Academic language : There is a strong relationship between language skills, especially vocabulary, and reading comprehension. The more words one knows the greater is comprehension. Greater comprehension leads to more reading which leads to more opportunities to learn words. This element focuses on vocabulary: breadth, depth, and new label for existing concepts as well as new concepts and the corresponding vocabulary. It also focuses on word-learning strategies. No teacher can directly teach the thousands of words students need. Thus, teachers must teach strategies. Monitoring students’ progress : ELLS vary in regards to their native language skills, content knowledge, and proficiency in English. Because of these differences ongoing assessment of students’ language, literacy, and content skills must guide instructional planning. Heterogeneous student grouping : ELLs learn from their peers. Structured opportunities for interaction on content material with advanced ELLs and native English speakers aids learning.
