ESL for Science Teachers

Transcript: Do all ELLs have the same 1st language? Are they at the same level? These students pose a unique challenge to make sure they are able to learn science while they are still learning English. As anyone who has traveled to a foreign country with a very rudimentary vocabulary and a map can tell you, it is not easy to navigate when you do not understand the native language of a country. You rely on pictures, gestures and the few words you know. I have always been lucky enough to run into people who were willing to help, occasionally even taking me by the hand to make sure I got headed in the right direction. I can only imagine how difficult it would be to learn difficult scientific concepts without a good understanding of the language. By being creative and using a number of modalities and illustrations to help the ELL student understand, you will also be helping many of the native English speakers get a better handle on the material and you will keep the classes interesting. With a little bit of patience and luck, you and your students should arrive together at your destination of scientific knowledge. Along the way, they may also improve their English skills, interpersonal skills and self image. Hopefully, at the end of the year they will say "Thank you, thank you!" and be as grateful to you as I am to all the strangers who took the time to help me the many times when I was lost. Similar to Innatism Uses a variety of Input Models Correct Grammar Focuses on Output as well as Input Bridging Starting Can draw on simple and routine experiences to communicate using high-frequency and general academic vocabulary. Can use phrases or short sentences in oral or written form, often with errors that impede communication Behaviorism Academic Studies have shown that adults actually retain more, but the younger the child, the less complex the language they need in order to catch up to their peers. Also, children may be less inhibited than teens or adults and more willing to risk making a mistake, making it easier for them to become fluent. And one more thing... Thank you for your attention! Who are the English Language Learners (ELLs)? How do students learn a second language? Where is the student's language proficiency level? Innatism Developing Conclusion Tabula Rosa (blank slate) Concentrate on the observable Develop good habits Punish and reward Believe 1st Language detrimental Everyday Intercultural Instructional Myths Identify ELLs Emerging Learning 2nd Language - 3 Schools of Thought Vocabulary Grammar & Syntax Scholarly Discourse Children learn second languages quickly and easily The more time students spend in a second language context, the quicker they learn All children learn a second language the same way Can communicate on matters regularly encountered using general and some specialized academic vocabulary. Can use expanded sentences with some errors that impede communication but retain most of its meaning. Social Social/Academic Oral/Written Communicating/Understanding Students have to have some basic foothold in the language to build on. Having context and additional input such as pictures will help if the language skills are in the beginning stages. More complex tasks and those requiring academic language such as writing lab reports may be difficult for beginning English Language Learners even if they understand the scientific concepts. The process can be frustrating for both the student and the teacher, so a lot of patience and a good sense of humor doesn't hurt! Can use language in abstract situations and apply language to new experiences using specialized and some technical terms. Employs a variety of sentence lengths of varying linguistic complexity with minimal errors. Not all children learn in the same way or at the same rate. A child's background, culture, and prior education may have an impact. One child may be very fluent in verbal social interaction, but struggling with the written academic language. Another child may have better understanding of the written word, but struggles to understand oral instructions. Using a variety of input and output methods with the ELL will help assess their true understanding of the course material and help them improve their English skills in the process. English as a second language(ESL) Prewired for Language Focus solely on Input No grammar 1st Language not detrimental Proficiency Levels ESL Info for Science Teachers Types of Language Can communicate basic needs with high-frequency words and memorized chunks of language. Pictorial and non-verbal clues are helpful. Can understand a wide range of longer oral and written text and comprehend implicit meaning. Employs technical academic vocabulary in a variety of sentence lenghts of varying complexity in extended discourse approaching that of English-proficient peers. Expanding Interactive
