This document describes a program called "Students as Teachers" developed at a middle school in New Jersey to help English Language Learners succeed in science. The program is based on the ideas that students learn best in groups and when they can leverage their strengths. It has students of varying English proficiency levels work collaboratively in groups to summarize, illustrate, and teach each other content from science chapters. The teacher introduces topics and monitors the process, while students assume responsibilities within their roles. Evaluation found the program improved students' science grades by a letter on average and reduced disciplinary issues, as students focused more deeply on language proficiency when explaining concepts to peers. The conclusion is that allowing collaborative work and student-created materials can help many English
This program was developed in a middle school in New Jersey to help English Language Learners (ELLs) succeed in science class. The program groups ELL students by English proficiency level and has them work collaboratively to learn science concepts, create their own textbook, and then teach each other. This peer-to-peer learning approach improved student outcomes and reduced disciplinary issues compared to traditional instruction methods. The program shows that allowing students to leverage their strengths and teach one another can lead to greater academic success.
The document lists members of a group and provides information about the main parts of plants, including roots, stem, leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds. An activity is proposed to learn about these key plant parts.
The document proposes a new assessment system for the English Department at the University of Panama to better evaluate student learning and achievement. It recommends implementing annual diagnostic assessments of students' language skills, as well as assessments after completing individual subjects. Students scoring low would receive reinforcement lessons. The proposal also suggests administering standardized English proficiency exams to assess students and ensure they meet the required language level upon graduating. Record keeping of student progress reports would help ensure a coherent vertical assessment system is in place.
Interactions between students in the classroomLiriett Herrera
Interaction refers to communication between individuals, particularly when negotiating meaning to prevent breakdowns. Research shows that conversational interaction facilitates language acquisition by connecting input, internal learner capacities like attention, and output. It is important to keep learners active in the classroom by reducing teacher talk and increasing learner talk time. Effective interactions involve exchanging information, having a specific outcome, including details, and focusing on problems using natural conversation and narratives. Ways to apply this research in the classroom include giving students opportunities to interact with the teacher and each other, planning instruction with tasks that promote interaction, and teaching language in the context of meaningful activities.
