= CATEGORIES OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS =

** LEP: Limited English Proficient **

 * Students generally from language-minority households who are not proficient in standard English which is taught in schools. **
 * Federal programs and school systems may also identify as LEP students as those who have difficulty not only speaking English, but also reading, writing, or understanding it.**

** NEP: Non-English Proficient **

 * Students come to school with no or with minimal English proficiency. **

** FEP: Fluent English Proficient **

 * Students are former LEP students who demonstrate mastery of English in all 4 domains: writing, reading, speaking, listening. **

= ELL PROGRAM TYPES =


 * 1. Sheltered instruction integrates language instruction with content instruction PART OF EACH DAY o****ut of the classroom** **to provide grade-level content while developing English proficiency. During the rest of the day in class, there may be a translator present assisting a student to understand what is being taught. The translator is present for two hours of the entire day.**

//For instance, half the day students are speaking English and half the day students are speaking Spanish.//
 * 2. Language Immersion **
 * **IMMERSION** **ENABLES AN ENTIRE CLASS TO LEARN A NEW LANGUAGE TOGETHER** **and students are all at similar levels //of knowledge//**//.//

**PARTIAL immersion means half of the class instruction is in the NEW language.**
//One, two or three students are learning English by being in the class where everyone else speaks English as their native language.//
 * 3. Language Submersion **
 * **SUBMERSION** **ENABLES ONE OR TWO OR A FEW STUDENTS TO LEARN A NEW LANGUAGE** **by being “thrown into the ocean to learn how to swim” in class where everyone else speaks their home language of English**

= BILINGUAL EDUCATION =
 * Transitional Bilingual Education involves INSTRUCTION in a child’s home language, typically for no more than three years, to ensure that students do not fall behind in subject areas like math, science, and social studies while they are learning English.**

The goal is to help students transition to mainstream English-only classrooms as quickly as possible, and the linguistic goal of such programs is English acquisition only. The overwhelming majority of bilingual programs in the U.S. are transitional.


 * Two-Way or Dual Language Bilingual Education programs are** **designed to help native and non-native English speakers become bilingual and biliterate. Ideally in such programs in a U.S. context, half of the students will be native speakers of English and half of the students will be native speakers of a minority language such as Spanish.**

Dual Language programs are less commonly permitted in US schools, although research indicates they are very effective in helping students learn English well and aiding the long-term performance of English learners in school (Center for Applied Linguistics, 2005; Thomas & Collier, 1997; Lindholm-Leary, 2000).


 * 3 **** . ****WHICH of the three ELL program types would you choose to learn a new language yourself?**
 * Please explain your reasons for choosing it.**


 * 4. ****What Bilingual Education model would you select for your own learning? Why?**



//** Explore the**// US Census Language Data Map


 * 5. ****Describe two surprises you found interesting as you explored the US Census Language Data Map.**
 * What does the map make you think about in regards to bilingual education in schools?**


 * 6. Would you move somewhere** **English** **was not spoken to learn a new language? Why or why not?**


 * 7. **** Learning a new language requires making mistakes daily. If you were living in a place where English is not spoken, what resources, online, on paper, in-person, would you use to help you to become a speaker of the new language? **

= LANGUAGE IMMERSION LEARNING =



** Can we communicate and interact without speaking the same language? **
//**Hear**// Soccer Team Provides Distraction For Refugees

//**Hear**// Miami's Coral Way Elementary School Aims For 'Biliterate' Education


 * 8. ****Kids on this soccer team who do not speak a common language are all able to play, learn and be friends together. Analyze why and identify methods from the soccer experience that could be incorporated into classroom experiences to create inclusive learning for multi-lingual students learning to speak English.**


 * 9. Miami's** **Coral Way Elementary School unites** **teachers and families in a common goal for the children: creating a bicultural, biliterate and bilingual student experience, K-8, whether kids speak English or Spanish when they enter the school.**
 * Bullet list** **four ways the school's methods accomplish this goal for every child every year.**


 * 10. What materials, activities and games introduced in TEAMS assignments or in class workshops during the past four weeks do you think are interesting and exciting activities that will enable ELL students who do not speak English and English speakers to play or** **do together so** **both are enjoying learning?**
 * List your choices and explain why** **you think these will enable learning together for both groups.**

 * Point out that the English language is always changing as groups use words from their experience and those words convey shared meanings to members of the those groups. The words used in this activity are from social media and young people's experience.
 * <span style="color: #3366cc; font-family: Raleway-Regular,Georgia,serif; font-size: 15px;">According to the Merriam-Webster website <span style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: Raleway-Regular,Georgia,serif; font-size: 15px;">, to be included in the dictionary, a word must “be used in a substantial number of citations that come from a wide range of publications over a considerable period of time.”


 * Activity**: Give students a list of new words from the Merriam-Webster dictionary and ask them to define each word and use it in a sentence

Onboarding

Front

Dog Whistle

Humblebrag

Train Wreck

Hive mind

Athleisure

Hella

Dark Money

 * Activity**: Give students a sample Frayer Model chart and explain how this tool can be used to support language learning in academic settings.

Frayer Model for Teaching Vocabulary and Comprehension
 * Math Example and Blank Form from West Virginia Department of Education
 * Example using the word Argument from Rhode Island Department of Education

Ask students to create a Frayer model for math symbols and punctuation marks (these are symbols with embedded meanings just like some of the symbols students use in their text messages)


 * Kid-Friendly Examples**

Language Arts: period, comma, semi-colon, exclamation point, dash, colon, quotation marks, question mark Period = Stop Sign Comma = Yield Semi-Colon = Pause, more coming Exclamation Point = Excitement Mark Quotation Marks = Conversation Marks Question Mark: Answer Needed Dash Hyphen
