It recommends getting to know students through cognitive and non-cognitive assessments, creating a print-rich environment, selecting a balance of informational and fiction texts, using read-alouds and small group instruction, and focusing on phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension development for emergent and beginning readers through techniques such as writing.
developing listening skills through technology
The document discusses how various technologies such as radio, audio tapes, language laboratories, and video can be used to develop listening skills for language learners. It describes the benefits and uses of each technology, including their ability to provide extensive and intensive listening practice opportunities, expose learners to native speaker models, and promote learner motivation and creativity. The role of the teacher in selecting materials and activities that target specific listening skills is also addressed.
Reading as a Communication Process
This document outlines objectives and guidelines for effective language use. It identifies five key guidelines: clarity, simplicity, adapted language, forceful language, and vivid language. Clarity means using concrete symbols that are easily understood. Simplicity means using direct wording that is less complex. Adapted language means using words appropriate for the audience. Forceful language stimulates interest. Vivid language uses descriptive words that engage the senses. The document provides examples to illustrate applying these guidelines to construct clear and engaging sentences.

Using multimedia and smart devices can accelerate English language learners' academic language proficiency. Students report learning better and being better able to check their understanding when using interactive technologies like smart boards. Audio books and texts with embedded supports also help improve comprehension and fluency. When instruction is supplemented with visuals, translations, and opportunities for repeated language exposure through devices, it can help students more quickly acquire cognitive academic language that would otherwise take years to develop. Effective classroom apps that support language development include voice recorders, ebooks, translation tools, and apps that accompany math and reading programs.
Computer assisted language learning
This document provides an overview of the history and evolution of computer-assisted language learning (CALL). It describes how CALL started in the 1950s-1970s using behaviorist drills and practice approaches. In the late 1970s and 1980s, communicative approaches to CALL emerged that focused on using language for communication rather than just manipulating forms. One advocate described premises for communicative CALL as focusing on using forms rather than just forms themselves and generating original utterances rather than just manipulating preset language. The document then gives examples of using email, concordancing software, and audio recordings to integrate the internet into communicative CALL approaches.

The benefits of using an e-reader go far beyond mere convenience of not having to carry bulky volumes. An e-ink device like the Kindle, a tablet or even just a smartphone, all of these are making a huge difference to many struggling readers. They do it by allowing customisation of the way text is displayed, making it possible to listen while reading or even instead of reading, and not least importantly how much is in front of the reader's eyes at any one moment.
This session will provide a survey of the latest hardware, software as well as the best sources of accessible documents. We will cover the pros and cons of different types of screens, best reading software for the iPad and Android tablets, and best ways of getting your e-books from anywhere onto your device. Finally, we will address ways of making the most out of an e-reading device in the school environment.
Parts of this session were developed for the Load2Learn project and parts during the iLearnRW project.

This document discusses using e-readers to increase reading fluency and comprehension for students with reading disabilities. It summarizes a study that found students who used e-books with text-to-speech features were better able to orally retell and comprehend what they read compared to traditional books. While e-books have benefits like modeling fluent reading, they also have limitations such as potential distractions. Overall, assistive technologies like e-readers that provide scaffolds can help break down barriers for students with reading disabilities.
ICT-Based Resources for Learning and Teaching Listening
This document discusses resources for teaching and learning listening skills using information and communication technologies (ICT). It begins by explaining the importance of listening and outlines extensive and intensive listening approaches. It then describes bottom-up and top-down listening processes and the three stages of a listening lesson: pre-listening, while-listening, and post-listening. A variety of online resources for extensive listening are provided, including BBC Learning English, Beeoais, and VOA Learning English. The document also discusses podcast resources and tools for creating listening exercises. Finally, it examines a study on using the online platform EDpuzzle to enhance learning from video clips.

Languagelearning english-v7-090619011916-phpapp01
The document discusses common problems with traditional language learning and provides recommendations for more effective methods. It argues that most language learners fail due to relying on ineffective grammar-translation methods, rote memorization techniques, and standardized testing. These "crappy" approaches treat language as facts to memorize rather than an innate skill. Instead, the document recommends choosing interesting content in audio and digital formats to aid natural acquisition. It also notes that adults can learn faster than children due to greater motivation, learning skills, and vocabulary. The key is adopting a growth mindset and making the most of opportunities to engage with the language.

This document provides information from a webinar presented by Dr. Semingson on teaching students with dyslexia. The webinar defined dyslexia, discussed diagnostic methods and instructional strategies, and provided resources. Dyslexia was defined as a specific learning disability affecting word recognition, spelling, and decoding abilities due to a phonological processing deficit. Screening and formal assessments were described to identify dyslexia. Instructional strategies discussed included multi-sensory teaching, modifications, and assistive technologies. Resources for further information on dyslexia were also provided.Group E Ppt Presentation
The document discusses how technology can aid English language learners (ELLs) in three main ways. First, tools like scanners, digital cameras, and video recorders allow ELL students to see visual examples to better understand assignments in math, science, and other subjects. Second, technology enables communication and collaboration through video chatting, online research, and question/answer forums. Third, productivity programs, databases, and spreadsheets provide multilingual interfaces and functions to help ELL students complete assignments and practice language skills. The document also provides several examples of software, websites, and lesson plans that teachers can use to incorporate these technologies into their ELL instruction.

Article Summaries
This article summarizes an experiment that used digital photography to capture notes written on a blackboard during lectures. The photos of the blackboard notes were then made available online for students to access as an alternative to solely using PowerPoint slides. The experiment aimed to combine the advantages of using a blackboard for lecturing with making the notes accessible digitally. Students preferred having the blackboard notes available online in addition to the lectures, as it helped them review and study the material. The process involved photographing the blackboard after each lecture and preparing the photos as online lecture notes for students.
teaching-listening.pdf
This document discusses what is known about teaching listening. It defines listening as an active skill that involves interpreting sounds, constructing meaning, making predictions, and using strategies to cope with difficulties in real time. Listening has cognitive and social dimensions. Cognitively, listening involves memory, speech recognition, and associating input with prior knowledge. Socially, listening involves showing understanding, turn-taking, interpreting nonverbal cues, and determining implied meaning. Nonnative English listeners face additional challenges like unfamiliar sounds, accents, and vocabulary. The document also notes that listening remains understudied compared to other skills.

The document discusses how social networking tools can provide opportunities for meaningful language practice and output for learners. It describes how Web 2.0 tools like YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook allow learners to interact authentically and generate content in the target language. Challenges for learners in traditional language classes like lack of opportunities for practice can be addressed through social media where learners can record videos, post updates, and communicate virtually to improve their skills. Teachers can support learners by having them practice content before sharing online and setting guidelines for appropriate social media use.

How students present with a specific learning disability
Children with dyslexia or specific learning disabilities appear bright in subjects not involving reading or writing. However, when asked to read or write, they are often years behind peers and try to avoid it. They may display bad behavior or do minimal work. Many view themselves as "dumb" and have low self-esteem.
Powerpoint on podcasting
Podcasting can be used as an educational tool to improve student skills like vocabulary, writing, and public speaking. Teachers can use podcasts to record class lessons for absent students, book reviews to spark interest, and assignment details. Students can create podcasts for book reports, how-to papers, debates and more. Podcasting is a creative and innovative tool that even parents find productive for monitoring tests and homework.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
