Sheltered Instruction (SI)Sheltered Instruction (SI)

SI provides second language learners with the means to

develop academic and linguistic knowledge in their second

language.

SI can be described as a melding of elements of second language

principles and elements of quality instruction.

SI facilitates a high level of student involvement and interaction in

the classroom.

PreparationPreparation

Clearly defined content objectives for students.

Clearly defined language objectives for students.

Content concepts appropriate for age and educational background

Supplementary materials used to a high degree, making the lesson clear and meaningful (e.g., graphs, models, visuals)

Adaptation of content (e.g., text, assignment) to all levels of student proficiency

Meaningful activities that integrate lesson concepts with language practice opportunities for reading, writing, listening and/or speaking.


Building BackgroundBuilding Background

Concepts explicitly linked to students’ background experiences

Links explicitly made between past learning and new concepts

Key vocabulary emphasized (e.g., introduced, written, repeated, and highlighted for students to see)


Comprehensible InputComprehensible InputSpeech appropriate for students’

proficiency level (e.g., slower rate, careful enunciation, and simple sentence structure for beginners)

Clear explanation of academic tasksA variety of techniques used to

make content concepts clear (e.g., modeling, visuals, hands-on activities, demonstrations, gestures body language)


StrategiesStrategiesAmple opportunities for student to use

strategiesConsistent use of scaffolding

techniques throughout lesson, assisting and supporting student understanding

A variety of question types used, including those that promote higher-order thinking skills throughout the lesson (e.g., literal, analytic, and interpretive questions)


InteractionInteractionFrequent opportunities for

interactions and/or discussion between teacher/student and among students that encourage elaborated responses about lesson concepts

Grouping configurations support language and content objectives of the lesson

Sufficient wait time for student response

Ample opportunities for students to clarify key concepts in L1 as needed with aide, peer or L1 text


Practice/ApplicationPractice/ApplicationHands-on materials and/or manipulative for students to practice using new content knowledge

Activities for students to apply content and language knowledge in the classroom

Activities that integrate all language skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking)

ScaffoldingScaffoldingForm of support to bridge the gap

between students’ current abilities and the intended goal

Support is more complete during the initial stages of learning but is decreased as there is less need for guidance

Types:◦verbal◦procedural◦instructional

Procedural Scaffolding

Increasing Student Independence

TeachModel

PracticeApply

According to Echevarria, Vogt, and Short (2000), teachers use an instructional framework that includes explicit teaching, modelingand practice that provide procedural scaffolding.

Student Independence

Whole Class

Small Group

Paired/ Partner

Independent Work

Procedural scaffolding also refers to the use of grouping configurations that provide different levels of support to students as they gain greater levels of language proficiency and

skills.

QuestioningQuestioning

Questioning techniques can elicit responses from students that involve higher-order thinking skills regardless of language level.
