Education Week: Schools Face Shortage of Digital Curricula for English-Learners - 1 views

      The Best Practices sidebar here can be used as a type of checklist to help evaluate digital programs & materials for ELLs.
  • It's the only program that she knows of that addresses the literacy aspect of math for ELL students.
  • found a measurable increase in vocabulary knowledge and text comprehension,
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • gave HELP Math its highest rating for effectiveness after reviewing research on student improvement related to the program.
  • Because there's not a plethora of digital curricula designed exclusively for English-language learners, teachers often rely on digital curricula used for all students that help individualize lessons, as well as software programs tailored for English language learners,
  • researchers created multimedia folktales and informational texts that included clickable words with definitions in English or Spanish, along with images for students whose English proficiency was very low. The text contained built-in audio, so that students could hear it in English or in Spanish, as well as embedded activities for reflection in both languages.
  • "There's not a lot out there."
  • Very few digital products are backed by research proving they work, and that's important to educators,
  • That can be a problem with digital curricula not targeted for ELLs, Mr. Proctor said. "Most interventions like that exclude very limited-proficient-English students because they don't speak enough English to use them,"
  • Professional development to prepare educators to use digital curricula for English-learners is critically important, too.

DLL Research Overview Papers - Child Development (CA Dept of Education).pdf - 0 views

  • teacher-directed or explicit instruction—is associated with better child academic outcomes on specific knowledge and skills (e.g., letter knowledge, vocabulary words)
  • Among school-age children,*reading interventions focusing on phonemic awareness, word recognition, and vocabulary tend to have comparable effects for DLLs (or English learners),
  • In schools and classrooms where English immersion is the only feasible option, there are ways that teachers can still bring the home language into the classroom that might contribute to helping children experience home–school continuity, provide opportunities for continued use of the home language, and encourage parents to continue developing children’s native language skills.
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • The quality of preschool for young DLLs does not end with the richness of the instruction itself. Teacher–child relationships appear to be important to academic outcomes as well.
  • Teachers’ attention to individual academic and emotional needs appears to be related, in particular, to successful mathematics development
  • found that rich explanations of target vocabulary, coupled with frequent home reading and higher initial vocabulary in English, made significant contributions to the learning of sophisticated vocabulary from story reading.
  • Interactive or dialogic reading is a strategy that engages children in discussions of texts.
  • guided instruction—such as explicit vocabulary support—is important for DLLs to make further progress in language development

      Excellent suggestions for incorporating PLS, especially in classrooms where multiple lgs are present and/or teacher doesn't speak other lgs. 
  • The principal point is that students who are learning content in a language they are simultaneously learning to speak and understand probably need additional supports to make the content comprehensible to them. Teachers must therefore consider using modifications, such as interactive approaches targeting both content and language; graphics, illustrations, and other visuals; direct teaching to help students learn skills and concepts; material with familiar content (in addition, of course, to teaching new content); and using the home language to support concept and language development
  • one implication is that teachers need to allocate time and space for intentional interactions aimed at promoting English language use and development.

      Additional suggestions to include as resource for lit block
  • taking advantage of cognates can be of value in vocabulary instruction.
