Linguistically Diverse Grade 1 Strategy Guide

1178 Words5 Pages

This strategy guide is designed to help teachers enhance decoding skills in a linguistically diverse grade 1 class. It is important for us as teachers to provide every student with equal opportunities and diverse approaches to learning. Literacy is a big component in our everyday lives, and every student needs to be able to master that skill of decoding and putting the words together. To do so, here are some strategies that can benefit us as teachers to allow our students in grade 1 to become masters of decoding and be able to read and write effectively. We will be talking about differentiated instruction, phonological awareness, multisensory techniques, phonics instruction, and the dual-route theory. Understanding Linguistic Diversity …show more content…

Students from various ethnic and linguistic origins frequently attend classrooms, each bringing their own set of experiences and language skills. Teachers must recognize these variances and use students' different linguistic resources to effectively improve their decoding skills. Differentiated instruction Differentiated instruction “is a way of thinking about the classroom with dual goals of honoring each student’s learning needs and maximizing each student’s learning capacity” (Osuafor, 2013, p. 556 as cited in Unal et al., 2022, p.1). Through customized training based on each student's unique language background, aptitudes, and learning preferences, teachers foster an inclusive learning community in which every student can master decoding techniques. This strategy allows for a variety of choices for the students to learn and grow from. Building phonological …show more content…

Educators can foster an inclusive learning environment for all kids by employing evidence-based tactics such as differentiated instruction, phonological awareness activities, multisensory techniques, phonics instruction, and the dual-route theory.

In Dr. Louise Spear- Swerlings’ article, she stated that in Kindergarten through third grade, student should be taught five key elements for effective reading abilities, which are phonemic awareness, phonics knowledge, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. Dr. Spear- Swerling, continued by saying phonic awareness is well develop in normally achieving reader by the end of first grade and by the end of third grade they should have acquired basic phonics knowledge. In addition to children excelling to become good readers, the instructions should be explicit and systematic, following a logical sequence of instruction. For instance, reading a decodable text that’s consisting of words with one syllable before advancing to an authentic text.

In the essay “How to Tame a Wild Tongue”, Gloria Anazaldúa demonstrates the diversity of the Spanish language. The language is broken into sections, and I agree that when speaking to other Hispanics from different countries it may seem like a completely different language. Being fluent in Spanish, I’ve noticed how this process works. Different accents and words influence the diversity, sometimes making it difficult for two fluent Hispanics to communicate. Countries, such as Argentina, have an accent and a language that differs tremendously from other forms of Spanish.

Science is often stereotyped as a primarily independent endeavor. Most people will never step foot inside a research lab during their lifetime, so their only understanding of a scientific researcher is the one portrayed in books and movies -- the smart, eccentric, socially-isolated male who spends all his time in the lab and doesn’t do much else. People assume that biomedical research is only for introverts, since it is often misrepresented as pipetting miniscule amounts of liquids for hours on end. In addition, researchers are assumed to be unusually intelligent. How else are they going to cure cancer or discover life on Mars?

Phonological awareness is a vital skill to learning to read; however, a child’s dialect use can negatively impact their phonological awareness skills and makes it more difficult for children to learn to read (Mitri & Terry, 2014). To explain, in a study of 119 African American second graders, the children who used AAVE more frequently performed more poorly and chose more dialect sensitive responses, or words that contain features that vary depending on dialect use, on the phonemic awareness tasks than the children who used AAVE less frequently. For example, Mitri and Terry (2014) provided the children with a common word, such as bed, and asked the participants to select the word that resembled the initial word from three possible responses: a SAE match, such as red, a dialect sensitive match, such as net, and a neutral match, such as egg. In this instance, the children who spoke AAVE more frequently were more likely to choose “net” than their peers who used AAVE less frequently due to the common devoicing of final consonants. Additionally, the children with higher phonological awareness had increased reading ability (Mitri & Terry, 2014).

The first artifact, Planning Professional Development, helped me to review the different local and federal policies regarding English language learners. Also, through the professional development, I was able to share the information with my colleagues and make them aware of the implication for the linguistically diverse students. The second artifact, Plan into Action: Parent involvement, demonstrated the impact culture background in the process of language acquisition and academic achievement; how the community, and family members can be involved the process.

Over the past years, America has had many immigrants come from all over the world to become American citizens, which allowed America to become a diverse country. The different cultures, languages, and the races make America the melting pot. While some people believe America embracing diversity creates unity, it can be argued that America is moving toward a new standard in which diversity and individuality are encouraged more than uniformity and conformity because people are being taught different languages and some people combine or teach others their culture. Children all over the country are being taught many different languages. Learning different languages is important because our country is more diverse than others.

Evidence a) The dominant part of that semantic diversity is owed to immigrants who brought their dialects here, the same as English speakers who initially spoke English. (Example: Mexicans speak Spanish, today Spanish is one of the major languages most people speak either at a work place, school, or at home. b) Depend intensely on gifted multilingual people in order to complete a basic work, for example, interpreting data for insight purposes and giving dialect training to ambassadors who will serve

Second one is that instruction should be purposeful and third one is that activities and materials should be integrated with other components of a balanced literacy programs. A teacher can teach identifying words, categorizing words, substituting sounds, blending sounds, and segmenting sounds by doing age appropriate activities with children. Teachers assess children by using screening test to determine the level of their knowledge about phonemic awareness and they use instruction assessment cycle are planning, monitoring, evaluation, and reflection.

2.0 INTRODUCTION Language development happens both inside the classroom (as part of a formal establishment, school or institute) and outside it. The classroom is generally considered a formal setting, and most other environments informal, with respect to language learning. “In environments where informal language development is adequate, it is possible to regard the formal classroom as supplemental, complementary, facilitating and consolidating”(Van Lier, 1988: 20). For second-language development in such environments the informal settings can be regarded as primary and the formal classroom as ancillary. The L2 lesson then becomes a language arts lesson, focusing on special language skills and cognitive/academic growth, much in the same way
