Listening in a new language
is fatiguing!

Reading in a new language
requires stamina
Classroom implications:


Give opportunities for native language support
or instruction.



Provide a chance to review or rehear material



Break tasks and texts into smaller units



Spend some class time on stamina-building


You can speak the primary language of

a country or culture but not understand
aspects of its culture
 FACT:

People are more forgiving of
language mistakes than cultural
mistakes

 Classroom implications:


Derek Sivers on Japanese Street
Addresses, and opposites










Salutations and Greetings
Protocols for Meals
Ways of complimenting, requesting, etc.
Gift giving and receiving
When to show up, when to depart
Kinds of questions that are acceptable
Touching and other body language
Use of money
Attitudes toward elders


An English language learner is someone whose
household speaks a language other than English



Even though many ELLs are not immigrants





Their parents may or may not be immigrants AND
Their parents may or may not be undocumented AND
Their parents may or may not know English AND
Their parents may or may not be literate in a language
AND
 The child may or may not be familiar with the country
the family has come from

A LOT OF FACTORS!


Learn as much as you can about the
children, their families, and their cultures!



Involve the family in the life of the school!



Give children chances to share what they
already know about – their own lives!



Adjust instruction as you go along –
be nimble!


Common words can present
misunderstandings, too!



Collocations, idioms, and listemes include
many phrasal verbs, and the preposition can
make a big difference to the meaning!



Come up with own
Into one’s
Around


All that glitters….



It’s like going from the frying pan….



Like father, ……



If at first you don’t succeed….



A rolling stone……


The 5 levels



A child experiencing the silent period


Don’t let kids accept
basic communication
as enough – stretch it



Help students understand that
language learning and acquisition
never ends! And develop the
habits of mind to continue to
improve and grow…
And celebrate successes!!
Man of Constant Sorrow
 Preteach unknown vocabulary

 Play the song and have students fill in cloze
 Get in small groups, have students write

response from point of view of various actors in
the song and read them back
