IEP Poster Presentation Activity

1058 Words5 Pages

I attended the IEP Poster Presentation activity on Monday 04/23/2018. This activity aims to give the second language learners an opportunity to present their research conducted in their coursework in a different environment rather than a regular classroom. In this activity, the second language learner participants share their research and communicate with native students or another second language learners. In addition, the second language learner participants can have a richer experience to practice their communication skills in real-world settings. They can take advantage of this experience to develop their communication and academic skills.
The IEP Poster Presentation theme was about National Parks in different places in the US and around …show more content…

As mentioned above, the presenters have different proficiency levels even though they all are in level three. Through this activity, I discussed with a presenter who had a hard time to explain his ideas. I noticed that he spoke very slowly when he tried to say a sentence with free errors. I think that focusing on form impacted his automaticity by reducing his fluency, and increasing the time to structure a sentence correctly in his cognitive process (Brown & Lee, 2015, p.67). Throughout my conversation with presenters, I noticed some presenters seemed confident even though they made errors while some ELL presenters seemed anxious, or fearful to speak up to native speakers or me as well. These effective filters or feelings influenced their willingness to communicate and reduce their interaction with the audience (Brown & Lee, 2015, p.79). Indeed, I told one of these presenters that he did a great job when he finished his presentation. Afterward, he seemed to be a bit more talkative. I thought the extrinsic motivation increased his willingness to communicate and practice his language. Talking with another presenter through this activity, I noticed the presenter had limited vocabulary that impacted his ability to communicate. I tried to support him and provide some words he needed to explain his ideas. In fact, he told me the word in Arabic, and I gave him the word equivalent to it in English. I thought he could generate his ideas with my support, which related to the zone of proximal development (ZPD). With my vocabulary support, he could achieve a higher level to communicate and explaining his ideas comparing to his communication without support (Brown &Lee, 2015, p.80). In addition, I thought vocabulary limitation prevented him to present himself as he did when he speaks Arabic. I observed

It is the most common way to teach or convey a point of view. Many times, I have listened to people attempt to speak to a crowd but they struggle to get their ideas to proceed out of their mouths as smoothly as they would like. It is a shame to have so much positive and profitable information stored, with a difficulty of being able to express oneself. I would like to sharpen my public speaking skills. I don’t want to struggle from nervousness or stuttering or even losing my place mentally.

Analysis Of The National Park Service (NPS): The Decline Of National Parks

837 Words | 4 Pages

Many promotions and initiatives are put into play to get more children in the parks. Barack Obama launched Every Kid in a Park that gave “fourth graders and their families free admission to national parks for the past school year and summer” (Egan and Egan). This program is now a 12­year program to get children in the parks at a young age to hopefully increase their want to the national parks as they grow up. Although, these initiatives and promotions may have an effect it does not change the fact that technology is still being used more and that national parks are not something most children want to go see.

Student Iep Meeting

There are many faucets that need to be taken into consideration when planning, scheduling, and conducting a student’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP) meeting. This is done for many reasons, but most notably to avoid due process hearings and to make sure students receiving special education services are progressing and have as much access to the general education curriculum as their non-disabled peers. Should Jeremy’s parents decide to move forward with a due process hearing, their lawyer would have the means to develop a successful case against the district. Parent participation and providing proper notice of a student’s Admission, Review, and Dismissal (ARD) meeting are critical pieces that need to be included when it is time to start

Iep Reflection Paper

Even though I have experience helping to write IEPs in the last two years, it was really just from what I gleaned from sitting in IEP meetings and listening to colleagues as they reviewed IEPs with families. This class provided much more detail to me, about the thought process behind each section of the IEP (PLOPs, measureable goals) and why the IEP is developed the way it is. For example, the Present Levels of Performance are written to give a clear picture of the student – where are they now? What are their academic and functional needs? How does their disability affect their time in the regular education classroom?

Group Work In Canada

1928 Words | 8 Pages

Learning English as a second language can be a struggle for many immigrants across the world, especially when they simultaneously have to find a job, support their families and sometimes even attend school. ESL classes are provided for immigrants in order to improve their English and help them find a good job and acclimate into Canadian society. Both children and adult newcomers struggle when it comes to learning English and taking ESL classes on top of an already stressful life, but learning English has shown to be a much easier process when working in groups. Aside from learning grammar and spelling it is essential to know how to properly converse with other people in English and communicate in an understandable and relatively fluent manner and who better to practice one’s conversation skills then with other immigrants in the same position. Group work has proven to be effective in many situations which is why it should be more often applied to language learning and as Weimer (1987) suggested, “No matter how much we hate or love group work; it is one of the effective strategies of learning a lesson that creates a powerful learning experience among students and that activity as group work has the potential to develop students’ progression in new information, which accelerates learning” (p. 2).
