Iris Module and the effects on English Language Learners Justice Sibole Arizona State University Iris Module and the effects on English Language Learners Think about a lesson that you might teach in your future learning context. Briefly describe the lesson and at least four types of sheltered instructional supports you might provide for your ELL students that you learned about in the Iris ELL module As an educator, it is important that we are serving the needs of all of our children even if that means that we have to go above the normal calling to ensure that they are learning. This ideology should not only be applied to the traditional learner, but also to other learners such as ELL students. …show more content…

Like it was shown in the module, Teaching English Language Learners: Effective Instructional Practices, the teacher lecturing in Spanish inhibited students to pick up the material. This example represents the struggles that English Language Lerner’s face every day in class. We, as future educators, need to find a way to help foster an environment to help ELL students learn. A really great way to help ELL students understand and retain more information is by adding a visual element to the classroom. Using visual aids can help students start to associate objects or pictures with words. Incorporating these visual elements into the classroom is a great way for teachers to ensure that learning is happing all the time. Another really great tool that teachers can use to help students, is by incorporating the student's first language into the classroom. Having students who are able to see elements of their first language in the classrooms acts as a vessel for students to better pick up the language that they are trying to learn. As expressed in the article POWERFUL LEARNING TOOLS FOR ELLs written by Yu Ren Dong, he explains that “ELLs come into science class with prior learning, native languages, cultural and life experiences. Despite the fact that their prior knowledge is acquired and expressed in their native language and may be different from what the science teacher expects, it is a powerful learning tool” (Dong 2013). This goes to prove that students of different backgrounds and languages can pick up similarities in education when they have the opportunity to apply their first language to their second or other learning. Finally, the last tool that teachers can use involves repetition and building on information already learned. When a teacher uses key elements from previous lectures it helps them to tackle new topics and questions. Granting students, the opportunity to see

Gotlieb discusses the identification of English language learners with disabilities with a research study from the Institute of Education Sciences. From the research literature came four questions that need to be asked to decipher whether an ELL’s academic challenges are related to developing a new language, a learning disability, or some other root cause. Keeping these four questions in mind when considering James’ case study, can we rule out language acquisition as a factor in explaining why these students struggled? What are your recommendations?

Simonitsch and Lambert intel that the city of San Francisco was underfunded due to the overwhelming of immigrates of LEP students and made the students submerse into the English language (2004).

Noely Ramos Ramos 1 Ms.Cirelli AP Language 09/18/15 Argumentative Essay Common sense seems to dictate that bilingual education will be good for students to express themselves to peers and form their identities. Many seem to argue that language is a form of self-being and that it should be used freely in schools. However, those who are fighting for bilingual education fail to consider the obstacles that it forms for teachers in a classroom setting. I argue that english should be set as a default language in a professional environment so that students can form community rather than remain separate through language. This makes it easier on teachers, teaches students to adapt to their environments, and overall creates a way for all

Moses Maximov Jorge Villalobos English 100 September 22, 2014 Bilingual Education Draft 1 Bilingual education is a term that describes the different kind of educational programs such as English as a Second Language. Bilingual education methods involve teaching students school subjects in their native tongue, while they are being taught English.

An increasing number of culturally and linguistically diverse students enter U.S. schools each year (Stritikus, 2010). As educators, we must meet the needs of all learners. As a middle school English teacher, developing language acquisition is my daily endeavor. This is especially important for English Language Learners (ELLs), students who are still acquiring conversational and/or academic English. To ensure constant development of language skills, I must create rich learning activities that offer students a chance to speak (Tharp, 2010).

The observation of an ESL program was completed in the Kindergarten classroom #005A with Mrs. Wohlfeill at Bernhard Moos Elementary School. The ESL program that was evident while observing the classroom was sheltered English instruction. Sheltered English instruction is an instructional approach that engages ELLs above the beginner level in developing grade-level content-area knowledge, academic skills, and increased English proficiency (“What is”, n.d). Many of the ELL children in the classroom seemed to have a high level of English proficiency. However, the teachers modify their speech and, when necessary and feasible, content text so that English language learners can grasp important content concepts, facts, and questions (“what is”, n.d).Therefore,
