Presentation bilingualism and home language for ell students
English language learners (ELLs) make up a large and growing portion of students in U.S. schools. ELL students come from diverse backgrounds, with varying degrees of exposure to and education in their native language versus English. The document advocates for supporting students' home languages in the classroom by learning about their native languages and cultural backgrounds. It also emphasizes the importance of cultivating partnerships between home and school to support ELL students' academic success.
Stressing the importance of the native language
The document discusses the importance of families supporting their children's native language use and development. It argues that speaking the native language at home helps children's academic development and ability to learn additional languages like English. The document also suggests that bilingual educators can work with families to provide information about the benefits of bilingualism and advocate for bilingual programs.
Bilingualism and home language use
The document discusses strategies for cultivating partnerships between home and school for bilingual students. It recommends maintaining open communication through newsletters, translators, and family nights. Evaluating partnerships through parent-teacher conferences and surveys can provide feedback on effective communication and support needs. School leadership should encourage parent involvement, support diverse learners, and oversee ongoing evaluations of partnership programs.
Bilingualism and home language use
This document discusses strategies for teachers to effectively engage and communicate with parents of English language learners. It identifies important factors that influence students' language acquisition like their background knowledge, language proficiency, and view of education. The document recommends that teachers use communication methods like newsletters, technology, and cultural events to inform parents and get their support. It also suggests conducting surveys and observations to evaluate which engagement strategies are helping and emphasizes the teacher's role in building relationships with students and parents.
Week 6 presentation
This document discusses improving reading comprehension among students in North Plainfield, NJ. It finds that in 2011, only 41% of sixth graders were proficient on language arts assessments. It attributes this problem to several factors affecting the district: a growing culturally diverse population, high student transience, low socioeconomic status, non-English speaking families, and low parental education levels. The document advocates for professional development for teachers in strategies to engage students from varying backgrounds.
Md7 project1 mk_2015
This document discusses a study exploring parents' perceptions of literacy development for their preschool children in a rural school district. The study aims to understand how parents view their role in literacy and the types of literacy activities they do at home. It also examines recent research showing that home literacy is important for early development but many parents are uncertain how to support literacy skills before school. The conclusion emphasizes that parents greatly influence children's literacy foundations and are their first teachers through activities like reading, conversations and involvement in their education.
Bilingualism and home language
Bilingual students face additional pressures from their culture, family experiences, and traditions that affect their language development. Educators can help cultivate partnerships between home and school by reaching out to parents sensitively and encouraging students to share cultural objects. They should also hold special classroom events to include parents and show they care. Evaluating the effectiveness of these partnerships can be done through formal and informal assessments as well as parent conferences and surveys with regular data collection. Ultimately, teachers must lead with compassion and integrity to transformatively educate every student and family.
Ling612#1
This document discusses challenges that English Language Learners (ELLs) face under the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). It notes that ELLs represent over 10% of K-12 students but have historically been underserved. Key challenges include difficulties properly assessing and including ELLs in accountability systems given their entering and exiting of programs, lack of native language assessments, and inadequate funding for ELL programs and support. The document suggests ways to address these challenges, such as simplifying assessments, increasing investment in ELL programs, and better informing parents. It raises questions about whether NCLB has actually improved education for ELL students.

GrapeSEED English Learning Program
The GrapeSEED English learning program for children is based on the oral language acquisition and critical listening principles of natural language learning. Research-based, it closes the achievement gap in language, and increases reading fluency, resulting in improved test scores for all populations.
GrapeSEED has been deployed in over 16 countries and is being used on a daily basis in more than 600 schools by more than 40,000 students.
Educators in the United States are using the program for English language learners, early childhood education in preschool and elementary classrooms, and with children who are either struggling in reading or have learning disabilities.

The document discusses trends in educational disadvantage in Dutch elementary schools based on large cohort studies from 1994 to 2007. The key findings are:
1. Minority students from Turkey, Morocco, Suriname, and other non-Western countries started elementary school with large delays in language and some delays in math compared to non-minority students. However, the initial differences decreased in recent cohorts.
2. During elementary school, minority students gained ground in both language and math, with math delays almost disappearing by 8th grade while language delays remained.
3. In contrast, delays increased for non-minority students from low-education families, with larger delays in math than language.

The document discusses strategies for stimulating language development in early childhood during the COVID-19 pandemic. It describes strategies for children ages 1-2 years, such as motherese, recasting, echoing, expanding, and labeling. For children ages 3-6 years, it recommends increasing interaction and communication, reading aloud, involving children in storytelling, and providing literacy activities. The strategies aim to develop language skills through play-based learning that is appropriate for children's ages and can be done at home during pandemic restrictions.

This document summarizes research on the relationship between the language spoken at home and school outcomes for children of immigrants from former Yugoslavia and Turkey. The research finds that mostly speaking the destination country's language at home is associated with higher reading scores in some countries, but educational disadvantages remain regardless of language choice. It concludes that more value and support needs to be given to maintaining immigrants' first languages to help with integration.
Research Paper
This document discusses barriers to communication between teachers and parents of English Language Learner (ELL) students. It summarizes several studies that found cultural and linguistic barriers can prevent ELL parents from being involved in their child's education. Teachers are sometimes at fault for poor communication as they may view ELL parents negatively and fail to make themselves available. The document recommends that teachers take simple steps to make ELL parents feel welcome, such as translating materials and maintaining open communication.
Gdit 819 social justice phase iii
The document discusses the effects of poverty on childhood language and literacy development. It notes that language is key to literacy learning and that exposure to words helps develop knowledge. Poverty can negatively impact early language skills and language stimulation children receive. Research shows a gap in the number of words, variety of words, and time spent with reading that children from low-income homes hear compared to children from higher-income homes. This language gap can be detected as early as 18 months of age. Strategies used in high-performing, high-poverty schools include effective leadership, engaging parents and the community, having high expectations, focusing on reading, aligning the curriculum, using data, building instructional capacity, and optimizing time
Early Childhood
The document discusses language development in young children and strategies for promoting emergent literacy skills. It provides a chart outlining typical language development milestones from 6 months to 5 years. It also discusses theories of language learning, the importance of reading aloud interactively, and strategies shown to be effective for promoting vocabulary, print awareness, writing skills, letter knowledge, and phonological awareness. Overall, the key strategies emphasized are reading aloud to children, fostering conversations, and providing a language-rich environment.
Dyslexia slides 22
Dyslexia is a common learning disorder that affects reading, writing, and language processing. It makes it difficult for a person to read quickly, write clearly, and spell correctly due to how their brain processes written and spoken language. A dyslexic child may struggle with reading and spelling, have trouble learning new words, and confuse letter order. Parents can help by boosting confidence, focusing on effort over outcomes, making the home reading-friendly, and tapping into their child's interests.
Identifying EAL learners with learning needs
The document discusses factors related to including multilingual students in school. It covers collecting student background information, creating an inclusive culture and curriculum, providing resources in multiple languages, using differentiated instruction, supporting English acquisition, addressing racism and bullying, encouraging home language communities, and tracking student progress and interventions. Success is defined as students making academic progress, closing achievement gaps, having full curriculum access, and improving language acquisition, self-help, and social skills. Progress is also judged based on first language skills, non-verbal abilities, and skills shown in other contexts.
Prepárate!
This document discusses strategies to help Hispanic students in the Kempner school district succeed academically. It notes that while the Hispanic student population at Kempner High School has increased 10% over 7 years, their completion rate has decreased 8% over 6 years. It recommends understanding students' cultural backgrounds better, communicating earlier and more effectively with parents, and incorporating culturally-responsive teaching practices like relating instruction to students' everyday concerns and communities.
Demotivation
This document discusses demotivation in English language learning among Vietnamese students. It investigates the reasons for demotivation, called demotives, the degree to which different demotives influence students, and how students overcome demotivation. A study using recall essays from 100 university students found demotivation was significant and identified sources of demotives. Research shows motivation is key to second language acquisition, but many students in countries requiring English education fail to learn it and lose interest over time, becoming demotivated. This study addresses the extent of demotivation as a problem for Vietnamese students learning English as a foreign language, factors contributing to demotives, whether demotives differ in impact level, and how students overcome demotivation.

The finland phenomenon
Finland has consistently ranked highly in international education comparisons. Five factors contribute to Finland's success: (1) Striving for equity by ensuring all schools receive adequate funding and there are no private schools; (2) Fewer standardized tests and more creative student assessments designed by teachers; (3) High-quality teachers who require a master's degree and spend less time teaching and more collaborating; (4) Integrating games and play into the classroom curriculum despite a culture that does not emphasize competition; (5) Prioritizing student welfare through universal healthcare, counseling, nutritious meals, and guidance counselors.

Benefits of culturally and linguistically diverse classrooms
This document discusses the benefits of culturally and linguistically diverse classrooms. It provides background information on a student named Sebastian, who is an English language learner from a Spanish-speaking migrant family. It outlines Sebastian's academic challenges and cultural funds of knowledge. The document also discusses literacy expectations of the Common Core State Standards for English language learners and recommends instructional strategies teachers can use to help English learners meet those expectations.
Peer
This study examined the effects of classwide peer tutoring (CWPT) on the social interactions of English language learners and native English speakers in two second-grade classrooms. CWPT was implemented to teach math and spelling, with social interactions as the dependent variable. Students' frequency of positive and negative social behaviors during CWPT sessions was observed and analyzed. The study found that CWPT increased positive social interactions for both English language learners and native English speakers, indicating it is an effective instructional strategy to support social development for all students.

Introduction
In Australia, over the last decade, there has been an unprecedented
political focus on literacy attainment levels. In 1998 the Commonwealth
released the National Plan that focussed on the need for states to plan for
system wide early assessment and early intervention. As well the plan
introduced the requirement to develop minimal standards, against
which all children would be assessed and the outcomes reported to the
Commonwealth. In 1998, the Ministerial Council on Employment,
Education, Training and Youth Affairs (MCEETYA) resolved that all
states would conduct full census testing in Years 3, 5 and 7 and that these
would be reported to the Commonwealth against national benchmarks.
Similar pressures were impacting on the work of teachers in the United
States as evidenced in The National Reading Panel Review Teaching
Children To Read (2000).
In the 1980s and 1990s there was a growing body of research demon-
strating that literacy was a social practice (Heath, 1983; Heath and
Mangiola, 1991; Ogbu, 1987; Luke, 1993; Luke and Freebody, 1995). From
this perspective, literacy development was seen to be shaped by the
social practices of the cultural context in which learning takes place
(Freebody, Ludwig, and Gunn, 1995, Luke 2000). This research suggested
that:
The socialisation processes in which children are engaged have a strong
influence on the ways in which they participate in the pedagogical routines
of school classrooms (Baker, 1991; Comber, 1993; Dyson 1993, 1997); and
The social, cultural and linguistic backgrounds of children influence success
in school literacy learning (Luke, 1997 ; Freebody, 1992, Purcell-Gates, 1989).
Since 1998 the Commonwealth, in order to support improved literacy
outcomes, has funded a number of research projects that focussed on
developing our understanding of children’s literacy development and
how to support children with literacy difficulties. These studies, report-
ed in 100 Children Go to School (Hill et al., 1998), Mapping the Territory
(Louden et al., 2000) and 100 Children turn 10 (Hill et al., 2002) provided
important insights into the ways in which children in Australia were
accessing literacy. Through the use of case study methodology, it was

in the literacy activities of the classroom. This research made explicit the
important relationship between the oral language and routines that chil-

Stressing the importance of the native language
The document discusses the importance of families supporting their children's native language use and development. It argues that speaking the native language at home helps children's academic development and ability to learn additional languages like English. The document also suggests that bilingual educators can work with families to provide information about the benefits of bilingualism and advocate for bilingual programs.

Remedial Instruction in Language Disfluencies in the Non-Psycho-Expert Lens
This qualitative case study discovered and explored the plights of languages teachers conducting remedial instruction in language disfluencies, the way teachers conduct remedial instruction in language disfluencies in the non-psycho-expert lens, and the way learners progress in the kind of remediation they receive. The informants of the study were the language teachers of Buenavista National High School. These teachers are selected purposively as those who have encounter in remedial instruction for language disfluencies in the non-psycho-expert lens. The data were gathered through interviews with the informants. The study revealed that language teachers conducting remedial instruction in language disfluencies in the non-psycho-expert lens face dire situations on insufficiency in terms of background knowledge on language disfluencies, time, and resources for remediation. Another problem that they face is the learners attitude toward remedial instruction as well as parental or stakeholder support. Weak retention of the learners, insignificant change in the learning behavior and the use of colloquial words also contribute to the unwanted scenario of students undergoing remediation. Language teachers conduct remedial instruction in language disfluencies in the non-psycho-expert lens through utilizing various teaching strategies, going back to the basics, having awareness on learner diversity, seeking parental or stakeholder support, exemplifying passion for teaching, and having an encouraging class environment. Learners progress in such kind of remediation through the use of language in praxis or utilizing the communicative language teaching by teachers where students use language practically. Learners as well show activeness in the class knowing that they both share the same learning pace among peers. Most importantly, learners progress due to the acceptance and understanding of the teachers on the type of learners they have. Mick Mars P. Silvano, LPT, Maelt | Evelyn C.

Similar pressures were impacting on the work of teachers in the United
States as evidenced in The National Reading Panel Review Teaching
Children To Read (2000).
In the 1980s and 1990s there was a growing body of research demon-
strating that literacy was a social practice (Heath, 1983; Heath and
Mangiola, 1991; Ogbu, 1987; Luke, 1993; Luke and Freebody, 1995). From
this perspective, literacy development was seen to be shaped by the
social practices of the cultural context in which learning takes place
(Freebody, Ludwig, and Gunn, 1995, Luke 2000). This research suggested
that:
The socialisation processes in which children are engaged have a strong
influence on the ways in which they participate in the pedagogical routines
of school classrooms (Baker, 1991; Comber, 1993; Dyson 1993, 1997); and
The social, cultural and linguistic backgrounds of children influence success
in school literacy learning (Luke, 1997 ; Freebody, 1992, Purcell-Gates, 1989).
Since 1998 the Commonwealth, in order to support improved literacy
outcomes, has funded a number of research projects that focussed on
developing our understanding of children’s literacy development and
how to support children with literacy difficulties. These studies, report-
ed in 100 Children Go to School (Hill et al., 1998), Mapping the Territory
(Louden et al., 2000) and 100 Children turn 10 (Hill et al., 2002) provided
important insights into the ways in which children in Australia were
accessing literacy. Through the use of case study methodology, it was

Stressing the importance of the native language
The document discusses the importance of families supporting their children's native language use and development. It argues that speaking the native language at home helps children's academic development and ability to learn additional languages like English. The document also suggests that bilingual educators can work with families to provide information about the benefits of bilingualism and advocate for bilingual programs.

Remedial Instruction in Language Disfluencies in the Non-Psycho-Expert Lens
This qualitative case study discovered and explored the plights of languages teachers conducting remedial instruction in language disfluencies, the way teachers conduct remedial instruction in language disfluencies in the non-psycho-expert lens, and the way learners progress in the kind of remediation they receive. The informants of the study were the language teachers of Buenavista National High School. These teachers are selected purposively as those who have encounter in remedial instruction for language disfluencies in the non-psycho-expert lens. The data were gathered through interviews with the informants. The study revealed that language teachers conducting remedial instruction in language disfluencies in the non-psycho-expert lens face dire situations on insufficiency in terms of background knowledge on language disfluencies, time, and resources for remediation. Another problem that they face is the learners attitude toward remedial instruction as well as parental or stakeholder support. Weak retention of the learners, insignificant change in the learning behavior and the use of colloquial words also contribute to the unwanted scenario of students undergoing remediation. Language teachers conduct remedial instruction in language disfluencies in the non-psycho-expert lens through utilizing various teaching strategies, going back to the basics, having awareness on learner diversity, seeking parental or stakeholder support, exemplifying passion for teaching, and having an encouraging class environment. Learners progress in such kind of remediation through the use of language in praxis or utilizing the communicative language teaching by teachers where students use language practically. Learners as well show activeness in the class knowing that they both share the same learning pace among peers. Most importantly, learners progress due to the acceptance and understanding of the teachers on the type of learners they have. Mick Mars P. Silvano, LPT, Maelt | Evelyn C.

Teachers need a strong understanding of educational linguistics to effectively communicate with students, support language development, and make fair evaluations. The document outlines five reasons why: 1) As communicators, teachers must understand differences in language use and structure instruction for clarity. 2) As educators, teachers must assess student knowledge and design instruction to expand linguistic skills. 3) As evaluators, teachers' judgments have serious consequences, so they need linguistic knowledge to fairly assess differences. 4) As educated individuals, teachers should understand language as an important part of human development. 5) As socializing agents, teachers must recognize home language practices to promote school language without devaluing student backgrounds. Overall, educational linguistics knowledge is crucial for teaching diverse students
Bilingual Education Challenges and Possibilities
The document discusses challenges and possibilities in bilingual education.

research-base-early-childhood-literacy-development.pdf
This document discusses early childhood literacy development from ages 4 to 8. It describes emergent literacy, which refers to the reading and writing concepts, behaviors, and dispositions that develop before conventional literacy. Key aspects of emergent literacy include: literacy is meaningful for real purposes; children learn through active engagement; and a broad range of knowledge, skills and strategies are involved. Emergent reading and writing involve behaviors like labeling pictures, sounding out stories, and using scribbles, letters, and invented spelling. Oral language and engagement are also important for literacy development.

Oldandnewliteracies
The document discusses barriers to literacy and strategies to improve literacy levels among students. It notes that the government and Ofsted have focused on improving literacy rates, especially among disadvantaged groups. The author's placement school uses several strategies to address literacy, including the Accelerated Reader program, literacy activities in tutor time, and a "word of the week." However, the school does not have a formal literacy policy. The author suggests additional strategies could help, such as using graphic novels, student publishing, and writing competitions. Addressing the needs of students with special educational needs is also important to improving literacy rates.

dual language
This document provides a summary of research on young children's capacity for dual language development from birth to age 5. It discusses several key findings:
1) Infants have an early ability to discriminate between languages and speech sounds that allows them to build two linguistic systems.
2) Young dual language learners can distinguish between rhythmic properties of languages to segment words and learn sound patterns and vocabularies.
3) While all children initially can perceive many speech sounds, perception becomes language-specific by age 1 as they tune into the sounds of the languages they are learning.
4) Research shows dual language learners have the fundamental capacities for language discrimination, perception, word learning, and grammar that allow them
Tesol presentation
This document discusses teaching English to students learning English as an additional language. It defines who English language learners are and emphasizes the importance of understanding students' socio-cultural backgrounds. Theories on first and second language acquisition are examined, including behavioral, innatist and interactionist perspectives. Stages of second language development and implications for instruction are also outlined. The document stresses the need for explicit instruction, modeling, practice and support for English language learners that is differentiated from teaching English as a first language.
Mother tongue usage and classroom instruction
This document summarizes a research paper that studied the influence of teachers' attitudes on the use of mother tongue/first language in early childhood education classrooms in Nandi County, Kenya. The study found that teacher attitude positively influences the use of mother tongue/first language as the language of instruction. It recommends supporting in-service teacher training on using mother tongue/first language and providing resources to ensure schools comply with language policies that emphasize first language instruction. The document provides background on language policies in Kenya and debates around the use of first versus second languages in education.
Teaching english young learners
