Common Needs of Secondary ELL Students
Programs to develop academic English and build knowledge of content subjects
Effective instruction with attention to subject-specific language use
Teachers trained to teach academic literacy and incorporate ESL methods
Ways to assess their knowledge accurately
![Page 10: Note: this PowerPoint presentation is copyrighted by the Center for Applied Linguistics, 2006](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cc95503460f9499075b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
To help our middle and high school English language learners, we need to know where they are on the path to academic literacy.
![Page 11: Note: this PowerPoint presentation is copyrighted by the Center for Applied Linguistics, 2006](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cc95503460f9499075b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
English Language Learner 1
Eva left Russia at 14 where she was a good student. She also studied French in school. Her parents were university educated. Eva entered a 9th grade program in the U.S. with sheltered content courses and content-based ESL classes. Within 2 years, she exited the ESL program and was a top student in the school as a senior.

English Language Learner 2
Felipe attended school each year in a rural area of Nicaragua, but usually only about 5 or 6 days per month. The distance from his home, bad weather, and farming responsibilities kept him out of class. At 12, he came to the U.S. and he enrolled in middle school. After 3 months, he is struggling with his adjustment to school, English, and content subjects.

English Language Learner 3
Graciela, from Mexico, came to the U.S. at age 5. She spoke Spanish at home and went to kindergarten and 1st grade classes taught primarily through Spanish. In 2nd grade, she was switched into a class taught in English. Her family moved and 4th grade was in a Spanish classroom. In 6th grade, she speaks a mixture of Spanish and English, but isn’t making academic progress.

Diagnostic Assessments
Diagnostic tests should assess:• Native language literacy
• English oral skills
• English literacy, especially academic literacy
• Content knowledge
![Page 15: Note: this PowerPoint presentation is copyrighted by the Center for Applied Linguistics, 2006](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cc95503460f9499075b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Current ChallengesMiddle and high school teachers underprepared to
help secondary ELLs
Few curricula and materials for students learning English while studying different school subjects
Few accelerated courses to help students catch up
Students tested in English before they know English well
![Page 16: Note: this PowerPoint presentation is copyrighted by the Center for Applied Linguistics, 2006](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cc95503460f9499075b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Adolescent ELL Literacy ResearchProcesses of second language (L2) literacy development
are qualitatively different from processes of native language (L1) literacy development.
L2 literacy development takes time (often 4-9 years to reach proficiency in academic literacy)
Processes of L2 literacy development are influenced by a number of variables that interact with each other (i.e., L1 literacy, L2 oralcy, SES, and more).
![Page 17: Note: this PowerPoint presentation is copyrighted by the Center for Applied Linguistics, 2006](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cc95503460f9499075b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Effective Instructional Practices
Build and activate background knowledge and vocabulary
Include attention to language in every lesson
Unlock reading and writing processes and comprehension strategies
Exploit the relationship between oralcy and literacy development
![Page 18: Note: this PowerPoint presentation is copyrighted by the Center for Applied Linguistics, 2006](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cc95503460f9499075b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The SIOP Model
A means for making grade-level academic content (science, social studies, math) more accessible for ELLs while at the same time promoting their English language development.
The practice of highlighting key language features and incorporating strategies that make the content comprehensible to students.
Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol

What Did the SIOP Teacher Do?
“Advanced beginners”• Start school year as “beginners”
• Currently, at end of school year:Read a little bit
Speak
Are able to do some writing
![Page 21: Note: this PowerPoint presentation is copyrighted by the Center for Applied Linguistics, 2006](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cc95503460f9499075b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
What Did the SIOP Teacher Do?
Incorporated Comprehensible Input Techniques
• Visuals, gestures, slower and simpler speech, hands-on materials, and writing key terms and student responses
• Cooperative grouping
• Activities for academic oral language practice
![Page 22: Note: this PowerPoint presentation is copyrighted by the Center for Applied Linguistics, 2006](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cc95503460f9499075b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What Did the SIOP Teacher Do?
Built and Activated Background for Students
• By connecting to students’ personal experiences
• By connecting to past lessons
• By focusing on academic vocabulary
![Page 23: Note: this PowerPoint presentation is copyrighted by the Center for Applied Linguistics, 2006](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cc95503460f9499075b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

• Instructional strategies for literacy development and sheltered instruction
• Orientation to U.S. schools and culture
• Appropriate materials, especially for students with no/low literacy & limited formal schooling
• Experienced teachers and paraprofessional
• Various time frames and locations
• ESL or bilingual design

Sheltered Program Models Include Two Types of Classes
Content-based ESL
ESL teachers incorporate content objectives, themes, vocabulary from subject areas into ESL lessons; prime focus on language development, background building
Sheltered Instruction
Teachers teach grade-level academic content (e.g., science, history, math) through special strategies while at the same time promoting language development; prime focus on covering content curricula
![Page 31: Note: this PowerPoint presentation is copyrighted by the Center for Applied Linguistics, 2006](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cc95503460f9499075b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

NCLB Affects ELLsSignificant achievement gap between ELLs and
other subgroups on state tests
Students assessed in English in most states before they are proficient in English
The definition of a highly qualified content teacher does not include knowledge of second language acquisition or ESL methods
![Page 34: Note: this PowerPoint presentation is copyrighted by the Center for Applied Linguistics, 2006](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cc95503460f9499075b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Alternatives to Reduce Drop Out
Alternative high school programs for ELLs
Alternatives for high school exit exams
Appropriate programs, instruction, and assessments from the start
![Page 35: Note: this PowerPoint presentation is copyrighted by the Center for Applied Linguistics, 2006](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cc95503460f9499075b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Pathways to Academic Success4-9 years of English language support
5- and 6-year high school plans that are promoted and not penalized (re: NCLB graduation rate)
Teachers with knowledge of second language development, ESL methods, and literacy instruction
Fiscal resources for adolescent literacy
High stakes decisions based on multiple measures of assessment
