Identifying ESOL Students

• Home Language Survey• NCLB Law/Title III• LAS/IPT Screening Assessment (new students)• Placement & Notification Process• ELDA Test (Spring)• Review for Future placement:

• PACT/PASS• MAPS• ELDA• HSAP• Class Grades• Teacher Recommendations• Possibility of Monitor Status• Exit Status

• Special Education- referring ESOL students

ESOL Share Time

• Share Activity with your Elbow Partner• Tell various ways that ESOL students

are identified at the school level

Page 5: How to Survive the EXPLOSION Growth of ESOL Learners

Acronym Orientation Activity

• BICS• CALP• LEP• ESOL• ELL• L1 and L2• NES• PEPSI• SIOP• SDAIE• TPR

Page 6: How to Survive the EXPLOSION Growth of ESOL Learners

What is Language Acquisition?

• Cooperative Learning Groups• Explore what you think LA is• Make a list in your group to share

•10 minute Restroom Break•Ticket Out- Post it Notes

Page 7: How to Survive the EXPLOSION Growth of ESOL Learners

What is Language Acquisition?

• Review post-it notes of “What is Language Acquisition?”

• Krashen states, “Acquisition and learning are 2 separate processes. Learning is knowing about a language. Acquisition is the unconscious process that occurs when language is used in real conversation.”

• Second language competency develops most quickly when the learner focuses on accomplishing tasks rather than focusing on the language itself. (Rigg & Hudelson, 1986; Krashen & Terrell, 1983)

Page 8: How to Survive the EXPLOSION Growth of ESOL Learners

Language Acquisition Theory

• PEPSI• Monitor learning as opposed to

acquisition- not addressing spelling or grammar but building oral language

• Comprehensible Input• Affective Filter

Page 9: How to Survive the EXPLOSION Growth of ESOL Learners

Stages of Language Acquisition

•Preproduction (ELDA Levels)•Early production•Speech emergence•Intermediate fluency•Advanced fluency

Page 10: How to Survive the EXPLOSION Growth of ESOL Learners

Stages of Second Language Acquisition

1. Preproduction• Minimal comprehension• No verbalization• Nods for yes or no• Draws and points

Page 11: How to Survive the EXPLOSION Growth of ESOL Learners

Stages of Second Language Acquisition

2. Early production• Has limited comprehension• One-to-two word responses• Participates using key words and

familiar phases• Uses present tense verbs

Page 12: How to Survive the EXPLOSION Growth of ESOL Learners

Stages of Second Language Acquisition

3. Speech emergence• Has good comprehension• Produces simple sentences• Makes grammar and pronunciation

errors• Frequently misunderstands jokes

Page 13: How to Survive the EXPLOSION Growth of ESOL Learners

Stages of Second Language Acquisition

4. Intermediate fluency• has excellent comprehension• makes few grammatical errors

5. Advanced fluency• student has a near-native level of

speech

Page 14: How to Survive the EXPLOSION Growth of ESOL Learners

Brainstorm Activity

• Divide into cooperative learning groups• Generate a list of strategies which will

help ESOL students develop language skills.

Page 15: How to Survive the EXPLOSION Growth of ESOL Learners

Conga Line Activity

• Groups will be divided by 1-2, 1-2 and form two separate lines for sharing language.

• Music plays, step-up and share a strategy that you came up with in your cooperative learning group.

Strategies, Accommodations, Modifications

• Strategies• Setting objectives and providing feedback• Nonlinguistic representations• Cues, questions, and advance organizers• Cooperative learning• Summarizing and note-taking• Homework and practice• Reinforcing effort and providing recognition• Generating hypotheses• Identifying similarities and differences

Suggestions for practicing language

• Conga line• Inside/Outside Circle• Carousel Posters• Cooperative learning groups• Elbow Partners• Graffiti posters• Tickets out• Read Aloud! Think Aloud!• Graphic organizers• Highlighting• Jigsaw-expert group/partner reading of materials

How Do I Meet the Needs of ALL My Students?

• By using other students as “mini teachers”

• Adapting instruction for all types of learning modalities

• Activity for teachers to practice ……….(Water Cycle)………
