Resumen de ingles 2
The document discusses the importance of learning English as a second language. It notes that there are many language centers that offer different programs for doing so, and that students have varying expectations when deciding to learn English, such as improving their academic development and career opportunities. It emphasizes that to truly learn English as a second language, it must be used regularly in all contexts, with proper pronunciation and intonation. Students must fully understand grammar lessons and take interest in reading and writing as well. The ideal age range for learning a second language is between 3 and 12 years old, as understanding at this stage is higher, and it is best to first learn the native language of one's environment before adding other languages. Overall, learning another language provides

In reading through the selected articles, I found that both Mathematics: Strategies for Teaching Limited English Proficient Students and Equity for Language Learners provided a comprehensive summary of considerations, accommodations, and strategies that teachers can utilize when teaching English language learners in their classrooms.
Two important points that I took away from the article Equity for Language Learners focused on identifying language goals and structuring language activities within the mathematics classroom. Both of these points were focused on in great detail in my SEI Endorsement course. As teachers, we need to understand the great deal of language that is associated with mathematics in order to structure appropriate learning experiences for our ELL students. The article discussed identifying language goals in addition to content goals. Having practiced this through my last course, I have found that this strategy really helps me to clearly identify how I want my students to express their understanding of content knowledge. As the article discussed, pairing content and language objectives helps teachers to identify the language structures that students need to display their understanding. When writing language and content objectives for my lessons, I try to make the languages objective mirror that content objective as closely as possible. The main difference between the two objectives is that the content objective focuses on what students will learn and that language objective focuses on how they will display their knowledge. F ...
Blogs in English Language Teacher Education Programs
This document discusses using blogs in English language teacher education programs. It defines blogs as collections of brief posts arranged in reverse chronological order. Blogs are a new multimodal writing genre that can improve critical thinking, writing fluency, and social skills. In teacher education programs, blogs can enhance pre-service teachers' reflective practices and help them connect theory to practice. When implemented properly with guidelines around safety, privacy, and ethics, blogs can be a motivating tool for future teachers to express themselves and develop their teaching skills.

Wracrevised Basic Skills
The document summarizes the evolution of learning support programs at Chabot College from separate reading and writing centers in the 1990s to an integrated Learning Connection model. It describes how the college used Title 3 funding to research best practices, develop a new curriculum centered on reading and writing across disciplines, and create the initial WRAC center. Over time, the college integrated additional subject tutoring programs into a collaborative Learning Connection model to better support students across disciplines.
CLT
This document discusses communicative language teaching (CLT) and its key principles:
1. CLT aims to develop learners' communicative competence through meaningful interaction and negotiation of meaning, rather than just focusing on grammar.
2. CLT views language learning as resulting from interaction, collaboration, negotiation, and attention to feedback. Learners experiment and pay attention to input.
3. In CLT classrooms, teachers take on a facilitating role and learners have greater responsibility for their own learning through cooperative activities.
4. CLT prompted a rethinking of syllabus design and methodology, moving from traditional grammar-focused approaches to a focus on functions, notions, skills, and authentic language use.

This document discusses using RSS (Really Simple Syndication) to optimize e-language learning through content syndication. It describes how RSS can help address challenges in e-language learning by providing opportunities for self-paced, collaborative and communicative learning. Examples of RSS-based projects are given, such as having students create blogs and pagecasts to publish content and comments in a foreign language. The document concludes that RSS has great potential to enhance language learning by exposing students to authentic materials and communication in the target language.
Applied English translation
Translation involves transferring the meaning of a text from one language to another. While some argue translation is boring and non-communicative, the document outlines arguments for how translation can develop students' communicative competence. When teaching translation, teachers should select relevant, manageable texts and prepare students by explaining vocabulary and structures. Students then work in groups to translate paragraphs before coming together to ensure coherence. By following these steps, translation lessons can develop students' grammatical, socio-linguistic, discourse and strategic competence in a communicative way.
Webolgs for use with ESL classes
A weblog, or blog, allows individuals to easily publish their own words, ideas, and thoughts online through blog software. There are three main types of blogs for use in English as a second language (ESL) classes: 1) The tutor blog is run by the tutor to provide daily readings, promote English websites, and share syllabus information to bring students closer interaction. 2) The learner blog encourages students to find appropriate websites, develop a sense of ownership, and learn practical and ethical issues of online publishing while getting writing practice. 3) The class blog results from collaborative efforts of an entire class and allows teachers and students to interact and communicate closely about class topics and materials.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Open Learning Consortium Award, Connect Language Students with Native Speakers
- 1. WELCOME TO THE MIXXER Connect your language students with native speakers for a language exchange www.language-exchanges.org
- 2. WHAT’S A LANGUAGE EXCHANGE • A language exchange is two people who are each learning the other person’s native language helping each other. With the Mixxer, partners find each other then practice speaking via Skype. This is also often also called eTandem. There is also a writing section where users can correct each other.
- 5. I TEACH, WHAT CAN THE MIXXER DO? • Students can, or course, create their own profiles and find partners. Our students do so then send a summary of the exchange to their professor or post to the Mixxer blog. If you would like to connect students during class hours, contact me at bryantt@dickinson.edu, I will change the permissions on your account to provide two additional functions. • Teacher Search – for those looking for class-to-class exchanges. I also recommend www.uni-collaboration.eu • Event – If you have lab hour for your language class, you can ask individual users who match a specific profile to contact your students at a given day and time. For example, we may send an email to native Spanish speakers learning English asking if they’d be interested in an exchange at 9:30 AM New York time on Tuesday April 3rd. If interested, definitely email me first. I will help you with the first one.
