Fostering Second Language Development in Young Children - 0 views

social second language acquisition

shared by Joan McCabe on 02 Jun 12 - Cached
  • Principle #6: Language is used to communicate meaning. Children will internalize a second language more readily if they are asked to engage in meaningful activities that require using the language. For children who are learning English as a second language, it is important that the teacher gauge which aspects of the language the child has acquired and which ones are still to be mastered. Wong Fillmore (1985) recommends a number of steps that teachers can use to engage their students: Use demonstrations, modeling, role-playing. Present new information in the context of known information. Paraphrase often. Use simple structures, avoid complex structures. Repeat the same sentence patterns and routines. Tailor questions for different levels of language competence and participation.

  • In English language arts, the standards call for students to use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing, as well as to interact and collaborate with others. This includes writing blog posts and commenting on blogs, as the students involved in the Comments4Kids project do.

  • Mathematically proficient students should know which tools help them perform different tasks, according to the standards.
  • “This is really at the heart of how students are going to get to these standards," Minnich said. "It’s not necessarily a part of setting the standards, but If we don’t use technology to get students to these standards, we’re missing a huge opportunity."

      In text citations and referencing were a major challenge for many of my students last semester. This interactive tool explains the basics of APA. I would have my students go through this activity to help them improve their use of references and citations improving the quality of their posts.

    This is really great, I could have used this all along. Not something I will need for my Spanish class (at this moment) but can't wait to link it to my friends who are English teachers.
