Rowekamp_The Changing IEP Student: Understanding Learning Issues Beyond the L...Minnesota English Learner Education Conference
Intensive English Program students are ever-changing in language background and origin. Recently, additional differences have more commonly surfaced, including learning disabilities, academic learning gaps, and increased lower English proficiency-level students. This session will increase awareness of these issues and discuss resources and ways to understand and develop strategies to address them in the ESL classroom.Computers in LL Group A
This document summarizes language learning systems in different countries. It discusses:
1. The language learning process in the US, which typically involves optional language classes in middle school and required classes in high school, most commonly Spanish, French, and German.
2. The language learning system in Japan, which focuses on English grammar and reading over communication, and has large class sizes.
3. Sweden's language education, which introduces English in grades 2-5, adds a modern language like French or Spanish in grade 6, and offers language classes through high school, with a focus on vocabulary and reading.
The motivational impact of teachers
This document discusses research on the motivational impact of teachers on language learners. It summarizes several studies that found teacher-related factors were a significant source of demotivation for language students. Studies from the UK, US, Hungary, Israel, Vietnam, and Finland all found that qualities of the teacher, such as their teaching methods, lack of competence, personality, and relationships with students, were the most commonly cited reasons students gave for being demotivated. The document concludes that teachers have a strong influence over whether they motivate or demotivate their students and outlines 10 strategies teachers can use to positively influence learner motivation.

Swot
The document presents a SWOT analysis of CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning). It lists strengths such as using different teaching methodologies to motivate students and improve language skills. Teaching arts and crafts through CLIL is seen as useful for students to learn English while being creative. Weaknesses include that some students struggle with English and lack motivation for activities requiring English. Opportunities include using new technologies to engage students and improving students' speaking skills. A threat is that not all schools apply CLIL methodology consistently.
Language arts
The document discusses language arts and its key components. It notes that language arts incorporates four skills - reading, writing, listening, and speaking - as well as visual literacy. It emphasizes that these skills are interrelated and should not be taught discretely. Some tips provided for teaching language arts effectively include incorporating modern technologies, focusing on tasks over errors, and using portfolio-based and project-based assessments. Examples of classroom activities that engage multiple language arts skills, like shared reading and word sorting, are also outlined.

This presentation will focus on developing a curriculum built around inquiry-based units of instruction in a secondary language arts classroom. Audiences will have the chance to see evidence of how the use of essential questions can lead students into a process of inquiry, giving them the skills they need to think critically, question the world around them, and broaden and deepen their perspectives by connecting with others. Audiences will embark on a journey that takes them through a course entitled, ‘The American Teenager,’ and see the activities, assessments, and instructional strategies that transformed this course from a traditional study of American Literature to a course that is relevant, engaging, and challenging for teenagers in the 21st century. Through essential questions like ‘How do societal expectations impact our identity?’, ‘What are the costs and benefits of conformity?’ and ‘Is the American Dream a reality for all?’, this course blends classic and contemporary, and combines writers like Sherman Alexie with The Breakfast Club, Henry David Thoreau with text messaging, and Catcher in the Rye with Jay-Z. Audiences will gain important techniques for creating a classroom built around student-led discussions, including Socratic Seminars and blogging, as well as see examples of competency based assessments fully aligned with the Iowa Core Curriculum and National Common Core Standards.

Discussion Leaders
The document provides strategies for leading English discussion groups with students in Taiwan. It discusses establishing discussion rules and formats, including warm-up, main discussion, and wrap-up sections. It also addresses common challenges like shy students, poor English skills, boring topics, and distracted students. The key strategies emphasized are connecting with students, providing feedback, giving students time to think, and embracing silence without filling it with unnecessary talking. The overall goal is to encourage students to practice English while improving their skills.
Extensive Reading in the CLIL Class
This document discusses extensive reading as an effective way to acquire a foreign language. It defines extensive reading as reading large quantities of easy, level-appropriate texts. Extensive reading focuses on fluency rather than language details, and allows students to self-select texts from graded readers or simplified materials. The document provides examples of practical activities teachers can use to introduce extensive reading, such as whole class reading, self-selected individual reading, and projects to evaluate reading. It notes the advantages of extensive reading include developing learner autonomy, providing comprehensible input, and enhancing overall language skills and motivation to read more.
Language Discrimination
The document discusses language discrimination and diversity. It defines linguistic discrimination as unfair treatment based solely on a person's use of language. This can lead to unjust treatment as people make judgments about others based on perceived traits related to their language. While most nations protect language diversity, discrimination still exists through prejudicial treatment of those who speak particular languages. The document proposes an activity-based framework to address language discrimination for elementary/junior students through role plays, documentaries, and presentations to promote understanding and inclusion of linguistic diversity.
ELClassroomStrategies-OSDE.pptx
The document provides strategies for teachers to support English learners (ELs) in the regular classroom. It discusses getting to know ELs, implementing multi-sensory instruction, reducing teacher talk time, checking comprehension creatively, and differentiating lessons for ELs at different language proficiency levels. The strategies aim to lower ELs' anxiety, leverage their native language skills, and ensure they are practicing the four language domains of speaking, listening, reading, and writing.
Standards of Practice For English Language Teaching
This document discusses the issues around requiring native English skills for English teachers. It argues that the traditional focus on "native speakerism" is declining as English has many varieties and the teacher is no longer the primary source of language input. While native teachers have strengths like pronunciation and cultural knowledge, non-native teachers have experiential knowledge and understand students' first language. The document recommends that all teachers be properly accredited and meet language standards, and that the focus be on equitable, culturally-appropriate teaching practices rather than a teacher's native status.

Community Language Learning
The Community Language Learning method (CLL) emphasizes creating a supportive learning community. In CLL:
- The teacher takes the role of "counselor" and students are called "clients" to create a non-threatening environment.
- Lessons involve students recording conversations in the target language and then transcribing and analyzing the language with guidance from the teacher.
- The goals are for students to learn communicatively while supporting each other's learning and for the teacher to value students' thoughts and feelings.

Uncg ccc training 1
This document summarizes a workshop on cross-cultural communication held at UNCG. It discusses the diversity of UNCG's student population and their need for more language and cultural support services. A survey found that international students generally felt welcome at the library but identified some areas for improvement, such as resources in other languages. The workshop covered barriers to communication like cultural differences, language, and library jargon. It provided tips for staff to more effectively help diverse patrons, such as being patient, avoiding assumptions, and explaining terms. Staff were encouraged to view diversity as an opportunity and continue enhancing multilingual and cultural support services.
Factors affecting language learning
The document discusses several factors that affect language learning, including learner characteristics, age, gender, aptitude, motivation, personality, cognitive/learning styles, hemisphere specialization, and learning strategies. It notes that understanding these learner characteristics allows teachers to help students develop positive traits and tailor their teaching approaches to better support different students. Age in particular plays a major role in decisions around how and what to teach, as children, adolescents, and adults learn differently and benefit from different teaching techniques due to variations in maturity levels.
lesson 8 SLA a
This document summarizes key points about second language acquisition from chapters in two textbooks. It discusses that while some are born bilingual, most learn a second language later in life. Acquisition means natural learning through use, while learning is a more conscious effort. Factors like age of exposure, motivation, classroom environment, and use of the language can impact success. Practice is important, and adults have advantages over children but learn differently. Full fluency may require hundreds of hours of study and use over time.

Module 1 activity swot dafne fortea
CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) has strengths such as allowing students to naturally learn a language in context rather than through memorization, acquire cross-disciplinary skills by using a different language to learn subjects, and learn collaborative thinking skills. However, it also has weaknesses like difficulties in understanding discouraging some students and requiring teachers to carefully plan each lesson and assist any students struggling. Opportunities include motivating students by learning both a language and subject, using collaborative and practical methodologies, and teaching life skills, but threats comprise having too many students per classroom to properly attend to, less motivation from students facing difficulties in the foreign language, and intense work planning activities and materials.
Tbp ch 8 revised

Using UDL to Teach ESL Students
- 1. UDL: Implications for Teaching ESL Students By: Lisa Sieg, M.A. TESOL
- 2. Teaching Challenges & Solutions • Different Language Proficiencies • Challenges with Online Translation Programs • Different Background Knowledge
- 3. Different Language Proficiencies • Four Language Skills – Reading, Writing, Speaking, and Listening (Sometimes grammar)
- 4. Different Language Proficiencies • Students have different abilities with the different skills • Strong skill abilities usually transfer from the L1
- 5. Teaching Tips with UDL • Provide information in multiple formats. • Ask the student “Do you understand?” after giving directions. • Use simple language to explain your message. Then follow up with an example.
- 6. Teaching Tips • Provide information in multiple formats. • Ask the student “Do you understand?” after giving directions. • Use simple language to explain your message. Then follow up with an example.
- 7. Challenges with Online Translation Programs • Only the highest frequency word is used for the translation. • I miss you. • Context is excluded. (Important for academic words.) • Translates word by word, not at the sentence level. • Different English dialects will confuse your students.
- 8. Teaching Tips • Encourage your students to think in English. This isn’t a translation class! • Your student will learn academic words in English first. They won’t know the translation for their first language. • Encourage online translation dictionaries for individual words only. • Review important vocabulary and provide a list in advance. • Use visuals for descriptions.
- 9. Different Background Knowledge • This is what students know about a subject before you teach it. • Different cultural experiences and perhaps traumatic ones. • Learning and psychological abilities have different constructs across the world. Some learning or DSM illnesses don’t exist in other parts of the world. Treatment may also be different.
- 10. Teaching Tips • Don’t be afraid to share American culture, especially if you have international students. American culture is an exceptionally curious and motivating topic. • Openly address cultural differences and address them in a neutral way. They are not good or bad, they just ARE. Different people have different ways of living. (Use this as an opportunity to grow all students’ critical thinking skills.)
- 11. Teaching Tips • Encourage all of your students to use Student Accessibility Services and the Counseling Center. These are campus resources available to all students. They’re free so why not try them? • Don’t stereotype your students. Consider them all as individuals and get to know them in such a way.
- 12. Summary • Different Language Proficiencies • Challenges with Online Translation Programs • Different Background Knowledge
