Week 5 draft Running head: DEVELOPMENT SCENARIO FOR E, L, L’S.

Maria Ortiz

Instructor: Michelle Schwa

Development scenario for E, L, L’s
I must say, according to my observation in the scenario I really see two strategies that is being used to help the E.L.Ls. The strategies was used on Maria that just arrived in the class but has been there for only five months. What I observed was that the teacher has a student helping her and is making sure she is involved in all activities. This will help her build her social development skills. But the downfall is that her speech will not improve since the teacher is really not doing much to help her with her speech. But on a good note he is considering on getting her tested for her speech to make sure she does not have a disability. My second observation was from his E.L.L student, Mikhail. I really don’t see that he is using any strategy to help him when it comes down to his social skills. This might be because He has been in the states a lot longer. This is an advantage he has on Maria when it comes to social development skills. But the teacher is concerned with his writing Since he sees that his level in speaking English is so dominant and it is not falling in place with his writing and he seem a little confused and not sure how to address the situation.
There are many different tactics that an instructor can use in ELL classrooms. As always, teachers are called upon to continually modify their curriculum and teaching in order to meet the needs of each individual learner. Teachers often take part in some ways and means of opinion. Persistent pointer can be in the form of charts, or lists that the teacher, or each student creates as they continue learning about a subject. This can display vocabulary words that they have learned, concepts they have mastered, or subjects that they have studied. The teacher can talk about these lists over

    Practical, theory and the constant development of attitude are vital to learning being allowed to happen within the learning environment. To do this the student must do more than just listen and watch. They must read, write, discuss, engage, problem solving and use hands on techniques. Students must also develop their thinking mentality of analyse, apply and evaluate to all areas of work, as getting the students to do things gets the student to evaluate what they are doing and why. The use of these teaching strategies in the learning environment is vital because of its powerful impact on students learning for example; studies have shown that students prefer strategies promoting active learning to traditional talk and chalk methods: Penner.

    Based on the fact that 20.6% of the district population are in the ELL program, an instructional strategy I would use in the classroom is using small groups and model desired skills and outcomes. ELL students need a lot of modeling and visual aids when it comes to instruction, without that, and just using lectures will have the students confused and lost and not understand the information they are receiving, but if the teacher is modeling what is expected of them, especially if they are active during, even if they do not understand the language, they can still visually see what is expected. Using small groups with ELL students will also allow them to get a more one-on-one learning experience and will the teacher will be able to focus their…

    The more students with language impairments have experiences with speaking, they will show improvement in their speeches. They will also build more confidence in themselves and become a better speakers. Another thing Mr. Matthews could do it gives basic and clear instructions or explain the instructions in a way that would help students with language impairments to understand the assignment in class. The more clear Mr. Matthews is on the assignment, the easier it will make for students who are confused or lost in the class. Also, the more students work on the assigning reading and terminology at home and using them in sentences, then it will help them to have a better understanding and gaining new vocabulary…

    The type of student that Sara is would fit in tier one category because like the textbook said, “students who are learning English often experience learning and behavior difficulties that are more associated with the strain of adapting to a new culture and learning a new language than with some type of disability.” (Echevarria & Graves, 2011) I think that’s why she is shy and doesn’t socialize much. It also said that her teachers are pleased with her work, so that would say that she is a good student but is just having difficulties understanding. I think that the newcomer programs would help her adjust to life in America and maybe they would have programs available for her family so they can all feel more comfortable together. I think a combination of other programs would help her too, like transitional bilingual education so she can understand what she is doing in both languages and English language development so she can have a block of time to really focus and be with other student that are sharing her struggles. Maybe then she can start to socialize, build a support and make friends. I think that if she gets the appropriate academic programs she can feel more confident in herself and in her work and therefore would open up in her classroom. I know for me personally, and being a product of ESL it really helped my open up in my grade school days. During my kindergarten and first grade years, people thought I was a mute…

    I have conducted my field of experience at Westside Elementary School, second and third grade classroom. The third grade class consists of 20 students. The teacher does not have any aide even though she needs some assistance, because two of her students are falling behind. The sad part about this is that the students have not being diagnosed yet, but they are having a lot of difficulties. The teacher mentioned that by fourth or fifth grade those two students will need to be placed in a special education classroom. The students both have a concentration problem and it causes them to struggle with reading, writing, math, listening, and speaking. The teacher asked me to focus on and help these two students, while observing the rest of the class. On my second day, I went to Mrs. Bellamy’s Classroom; a second grade teacher. In this paper I am detonating the two different teaching styles that I observed, and the way the student are responding.…

Where I was ask to read in front of a class where most students in the class are native, and I were English Language learner at level beginner.
