25
Portfolios
good to see student work and growth over time

Content area standards
identify what students are supposed o learn throughout a given time period in a subject area content area learning tied to this
27
Content objectives
identify what students should be able to do at the end of a content area lesson and are related to the key concepts being taught
28
Language objectives
describe how students will learn and or demonstrate their mastery of materials by reading writing speaking or listening emphasize communicative skills of speaking and writing without neglecting reading or listening
29
Cognitive Strategies
help students remember and organize both content and language learning information, there are 5 types
30
5 types of cogntive strategies
Comprehension, Writing, Problem-solving, Reasoning, Self-regulation
31
Comprehension strategies
helps students remember and understand content
32
Writing stategies
helps students complete unstructured tasks and importance of planning and organizing ideas
33
Problem-solving strategies
help students see ways in which they can achieve a specific goal
34
Reasoning strategies
helps students determine what they believe to be true or false correct or incorrect
35
Self-regulation strategies
helps students monitor behaviors
36

are those that focus on thinking a about thinking involve knowledge of once own though process
37
6 Metacognitive strategies
Identifying what is know and not, Planning, Keeping a though journal
38
Identifying what is known and what is not
students recognize prior learning and then move forward in determing what they don't know what they need clarification on what knowledge has stuck with them
39

47
5 stages of Second language acquistion
Pre-production (silent) period, Early production, Speech Emergence, Intermediate fluency, Advanced fluency
48
Pre-production (silent) period
Listen and copy words, respond to visual cues like gestures/pics, may refrain from speaking
49
Early production
learners achieve a 1000 word receptive and active vocab and can produce single word and two-three word phrases and respond to questions
50
Speech emergence
learners have a vocabulary of about 3000 they are able to chunk simple words and phrases into sentences that may or may not be gramatically correct
51
Intermediate fluency
Learners have a vocab about 6000 can speak in more complex sentences and catch and correct many of their errors HAVE LARGES GAPS IN GRAMMAR AND SYNTAX
52
Advanced fluecny
learners achieve cognitive language proficiency in their learned language
53
Interlanguage
is the learners current understanding of the languge they are learning
54
Fossilization
is the point in second langugae acquisition when a learners growth freezes and development becomes unlieky
55
Parroting
student will repeat what they hear
56
Transfer
occurs when a student applies applies knowledge of a first language to another and can be + or -
57
Positive transfer
when students find similarities between native language and learning languagae
58
Cognates
visually similar words that like comprehend and comprender
59
False cognates
Look the same mean different "embarrased and emabarazada"
60
Negative transfer/interference
when student incorrectly applies rules of one language to another
61
code-switching
mix in words of first language with second
62

help students develop language proficiencies across multiple subject areas and school enviornment
63
Sheltered classes
focus on content area and EL learning with an emphasis on developing langugae objective in cojunction with content area proficiency
64
lesson modification and strategies for ELs
pictures, eliminating portions where background knowledge need, peer tutors, pre teaching core vocab
65
