WHO ARE OUR ELS?
There were 205+ active English Learners in the Carlisle Area School District during the 18-19 year
We are growing (124 in 16-17, 179 in 17-18)
30+ different languages spoken at home by our active EL population
19 countries represented by the children of International Fellows of the Army War College
40 new incoming students have been identified as ELs so far for this school year

ACCULTURATION PROCESS
It takes years for any person to be able to function effectively in two cultures.
Schools must “teach” what is expected of thestudents, and parents, upon arrival and throughout the first couple of years.
Our goal is to educate bicultural students who canfunction effectively in two cultures, NOT to deny or underestimate the first culture of the student.

It may take me 5 to 7 years to read and write in my second language (Model for Me!)
Even though I have mastered conversational English, I am still an EL (Model for Me!)
Start me out with Yes or No questions, rephrase for me, and remember to go from concrete to abstract.
This is very important! Remember how you learned your first language? Naturally!
Ask me about my culture, please. I did not come knowing nothing.
Thank you

ELs experience intense problems in content area learning because they have not yet acquired the language proficiency needed to succeed in understanding subject-matter content
Academic subject areas require a high degree of reading and writing ability that English language learners do not have….they experience immense difficulties reading their textbooks and understanding the vocabulary unique to particular subjects
WE KNOW THAT…

Your curriculum assumes certain background experiences that may be different than the EL’s.
Don’t treat the child as “broken” (or “at risk”)
rather the curriculum.
Make your subject matter accessible to all.

“Mother”, says the little princess, “I would like…”
“I don’t have time, my dear. Ask your governess.”
“But Mother, I just want a few kisses…”
“I have too much work, my dear. Take my plane and try and find the queen of kisses.”

1. Adults learn second languages more easily than young children (Kindergarten).
True. There is an old myth around that says that children are superior to adults in language learning because their brains are more flexible. This hypothesis has been much disputed.
Teenagers and adults have acquired language learning strategies. Why do young children appear to acquire language quicker ?

2. According to research, students with no schooling in their native language, take 7-10 years to reach grade level norms.
True. Whereas immigrant students who have had 2-3 years of first language schooling in their home country before they come to the U.S. take (only) 5-7 years to reach typical native-speaker performance.
*PA now requires districts to get their ELs to FEL status in 5 years maximum before the school performance profile will be negatively affected.

3. The ability to converse comfortably in English signals proficiency and means the child should also be
_____ achieving academically.
False. We often see children on the playground who appear to speak English with no problem. Yet when they are in a classroom situation, they just don't seem to grasp the concepts.
The language needed for face-to-face communication takes less time to master than the language needed to perform in cognitively demanding situations such as classes and lectures (academic language.)
![Page 29: ENGLISH LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT · 7. Students’ culture doesn’t affect how long it ----- --- takes them to acquire English. All students ----- ---- learn language the same way.

4. Second language learners will acquire academic English faster if their limited-English-proficient parents speak English at home.
False. Research shows that it is much better for parents to speak in native language to their children. This language will be richer and more complex. So if a child is being read to in native language, parents will spend more time discussing the story, and asking questions. Never instruct a parent to speak only English at home.
If you were in Japan, would you be able to speak only Japanese to your own children after a few months?

5. Osmosis is real. The more time students spend soaking up English in the mainstream classroom, the more quickly they will learn the language.
False. Children need comprehensible input. Imagine that you are sitting in a room of Arabic speakers. You have no idea what they are talking about. You could sit there for a long time and learn very little unless someone helped make that input comprehensible. Language is not “soaked up.”

6. Cognitive and academic development in native _____ language has an important and positive effect ---------- on second language acquisition.
True. Remember question #1?
The most significant variable in how quickly ELs reach grade-level norms is their level of literacy in their native language.
In other words…
“What we learn in one language transfers into the new language.”
![Page 32: ENGLISH LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT · 7. Students’ culture doesn’t affect how long it ----- --- takes them to acquire English. All students ----- ---- learn language the same way.

7. Students’ culture doesn’t affect how long it ------- --- takes them to acquire English. All students ----- ---- learn language the same way.
False. Do your students come from modern industrialized countries or rural agricultural societies? Do your students come from language backgrounds using a different writing system?
These factors will affect how long it takes them to learn English. Also, the more culture shock experienced by the child, the longer it will take him/her to learn a new language. Anxiety can block the learner’s ability to process information. This is called the affective filter. Speaking a new language requires that the student take a risk. We need to lower the affective filter.

English language learners have to acquire two kinds of English in
order to be successful in the school environment.
Social English is the language of everyday conversations and
interactions with peers, teachers and school personnel.
(BICS - Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills)
Academic English is the language used for instruction in the
classroom, the language found in textbooks and the language used in
developing higher-order thinking skills.
(CALP - Cognitive academic language proficiency)
REMINDER:THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF ENGLISH
– adapted from Jim Cummins
![Page 35: ENGLISH LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT · 7. Students’ culture doesn’t affect how long it ----- --- takes them to acquire English. All students ----- ---- learn language the same way.

Informal
Predominantly oral
3000 words or less
Short, simple sentence structures
Acquired within six months to two years
SOCIAL LANGUAGE (BICS)
Social English is acquired within a relatively short period of time, usually six months to two years and involves listening, comprehension and speaking skills. The ability to function socially in English is dependent upon the student's developmental age, personality, willingness to take risks, experience with other children whose primary language is English, and his or her cultural norms.

Predominately written
100,000s of words
Long, complex sentence structures
Takes five to seven years to master
Acquiring academic English is more complex because it requires mastery of all four language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) in the content areas that schools teach and test. It can take five to seven years to master academic English. The amount of time required also depends upon the degree of literacy the student has achieved in his or her first language, the approach the school uses to develop English literacy skills and the student's facility and ease in acquiring and learning language.

Listening is the first skill, upon which all others are based.
Parent/Child Speech:
Slower
Simplified phrases
Exaggerated intonation
Clear and simple meaning
Lots of repetition
Imperatives (important – COME and sit down) and

VOCABULARY• Students learning English must contend with (arguably) the
largest word bank in the world and with a good deal of complexity in spelling patterns. These characteristics, and the indisputable relationship between word knowledge and comprehension, make it necessary to use effective instructional methods when teaching vocabulary.
• Teaching vocabulary primarily through dictionary or glossary study is not effective. Just assigning a list of words to be studied and memorized each week, with minimal use in speaking or writing and with minimal instruction, is not likely to significantly and positively impact vocabulary growth and will probably diminish motivation.

Survey your lesson material.
Decide what vocabulary might be tough for EL students. (eg: multiple meaning words…duck, bat, trip, light,…)
Decide what vocabulary they must know to understand the basic concepts.
Make a vocabulary list for your EL.
WHAT VOCABULARY DO THEY NEED TO KNOW?

Step 1: Provide a description, explanation, or example of the new term (along with a nonlinguistic representation).
Step 2: Ask students to restate the description, explanation, or example in their own words in their own language.
Step 3: Ask students to construct a picture, symbol or graphic representing the term or phrase. Students should create their own representation and not copy yours from Step 1.
Step 4: Engage students periodically in activities that help them add to their knowledge of the terms in their notebook. Allow students to use their native language as much as possible.
Step 5: Periodically ask students to discuss the terms with one another.

During a ‘Curling Competition’, the lead (co-captain) did not use enough force (push) for the curling stone to reach the goal line.
Weight = force (push)

“I’ve come to a frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom.
It’s my personal approach that creates the climate. It’s my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess a tremendous power
to make a child’s life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration.
I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether
a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated, and a child humanized or de-humanized.” Haim Ginott
