ELL Strategies In High School
I have been contemplating the application of ELL strategies in the area of high school, particularly in regards to the College and Career Readiness Standards. Mostly we have been focusing on Head start, pre-school, kindergarten, and elementary ELL students. However, if these student do not reach proficiency by fifth or sixth grade then many fall behind and possibly drop out because the English language transfers from a social English to a more academic level of English. For a portion of my field practicum I observed a tenth grade English class which consisted of students who were from Korea, Nigeria, Philippines, and Nome, AK. In the class, they covered “Antony’s Speech” from Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, plus Book 6 of The Iliad

    ELL Instructor Interview Report

    The setting of the ELL instructor interview was inside Mrs. Trimble’s kindergarten classroom after her class had been dismissed. This was a one-on-one interview. Mrs. Trimble was very helpful, informative, and answered questions to the best of her ability. “Narrowing the achievement gap between students who are native English speakers and those learning English as a second language is one of the biggest challenges facing U.S. educators” (Pardini, P., 2006, p. 20). In this essay the discussion will cover abilities an ELL teacher should have, the role parents and teachers have within the classroom, and changes and benefits of SIOP protocol for native ELL students.…

    Standard 2.5 Differentiation Essay

    This module has helped me to understand that you cannot approach all ELL students the same due to their culture background and characteristics. I learned that there were many strategies that I already used within my classroom, such as using visuals and videos. Also, I realized that the same strategies that used with my ELL students could be used with my struggling learners within my classroom. To improve the quality of the artifact, with the proper quantity of ELL students, I would have worked with a younger student who was least proficient with the English language. It would have given me another perspective with trying more of the strategies that were offered within the module…

    Learning a new language can be an exciting experience. It can also be a challenge depending on student learning style as well as effective teaching skills. As a new educator who will be teaching in a diverse classroom, I understand the importance of ensuring the success of all ELL students. I have created a list of ten steps to be taken to ensure that my ability to teach and the knowledge that I will be imparting to my students, will give equal opportunities for the success of each student.…

    ELL Support In Schools

    One of the benefits of ELL supports in our schools is the opportunity they offer by helping these students to get immersed in the North American culture and learn to navigate such by themselves through differentiated instruction. We have to take into consideration that some of these students do not understand (much less interpret!) what is going on around them. ELL school supports are extremely necessary as they may be the only ones from mainstream education trying to instruct these students the proper way, academically and personally. Another benefit and I have experienced with this first-hand, is that ELL supports not only help these students learn this new culture but also their families with the acculturation process. ELL supports ensure…

    Classroom Interview Paper

    However, a difficulty mentioned in the article Best Practice for ELLs: Vocabulary Instruction when teaching vocabulary, is that “teachers assume that English learners know a concept and the word for that concept in their primary language.” Often this is seen with “technical” terms in math, science, geography, and history. The article suggests that if the student doesn’t know the word in their primary language, it should be taught “directly in English.” By understanding this concept is why assessing the ELL before starting a lesson is…

    Ells Reflection

    I feel the most important part of teaching students is to know your children. The better you know your student learning styles, the more successful your students will be. Especially for ELL students, it may take longer for you to find there learning style, but once you do, it will be beneficial. This standard allows teachers to know about culture backgrounds. An ELL student will feel appreciated that the teacher knows about their culture, making the student more willing to learn English. For example in the video Victor, Victor was thrilled to be a part of parent night and excited to explain his heritage to the…

    Examples Of Bilingual Classroom Observation

    This semester I observed a first grade bilingual classroom at Martin Elementary. The classroom contained three ELL’s at a variety of levels. The instructor, Mrs. Guerrero, used lots of sheltered instruction strategies not only during the set time for bilingual instruction, but throughout the rest of the content areas. Throughout the semester, I saw how Mrs. Guerrero used specific strategies to teach vocabulary to her LEP students. The first thing I noticed was how she had seated them near native English speakers. This was so they would be able to interact with native English speakers, listen to how they pronounce and use words, and also so they could help him out when he needed it. Mrs. Guerrero used a variety of materials for vocabulary instruction.…

    Literacy Narrative

    English as a Second Language It is a faint memory of mine, but I still remember learning the English alphabet for the first time at Kay’s Montessori, which was a daycare my parents had me attend at the age of five. Up until I started attending Kay’s, I only knew Vietnamese because that was the language my parents taught me as soon as I could speak. My journey to become literate in English began the day I first learned the alphabet at Kay’s. From this point on, I developed my abilities to read and write in English by attending American public schools. Although it was a struggle for me to become literate in English, these challenges motivated me to expand and improve my literacy skills. My kindergarten teacher at Boudreaux Elementary was very influential in advancing my literacy skills. She had a huge collection of basic to advanced-level reading books, and she challenged us by making a competition out of reading these books. Each student could take one book home per day, read it to our parents, and return it once we finished reading the entire book to add a sticker next to our name on the “You’re a Star” board. Since I was a competitive young girl, I was determined to get the most stickers at the end of the year by reading one book per night. Little did I know that my competitive nature would help me quickly advance my reading skills. Looking back on this, I realize that this helped me to become a better reader, and that this was one of the best things that could happen to me in my educational career. Another influence to the development of my current literacy skills was my participation in the English-as-a-Second Language (ESL) and Gifted and Talented (GT) Programs. In kindergarten and first grade, I was pulled out of class an hour each day to focus more on reading and writing in English. My ESL teacher was effective in building my reading and writing skills by assigning me various challenging yet fun activities that helped me to spell, read, write, and…

    Jim Cummins And Language Acquisition

    To summarize a large point in Cummins way of thinking, “Just because a child is speaking “fluently” does not mean they have the cognitive, academic components.” Cummins believes that learning a new language is a cognitive process, and that learning the tools of one language, will help you with your learning of a new language. Fluency, in Cummins mind, does not occur until at least 5-7 years or more. Cummins also distinguishes that an ELL student is not proficient, or fluent, in a language completely until they demonstrate success in all four modalities: listening, speaking, reading,…
