MISSED TEST QUESTIONS Flashcards
(234 cards)
What is PROSODY
the patterns of stress and intonation in a language.
What is CLOZE testing
(closure) Read a passage–delete every 5th word–student reads and fills in blanks. Checks comprehension
KWL and SQ3R
Graphic organizers: KNOW WANT LEARN (what do you know, want to learn and after lesson–what did you learn)
SQ3R: Survey question read write and review(read headings and titles, write what you expect to learn, read text with this in mind, recite material, review material a few more times
MATTHEW EFFECT
“the rich get richer and poor get poorer”new readers acquire the skills to read: early success in acquiring reading skills usually leads to later successes in reading as the learner grows, while failing to learn to read before the third or fourth year of schooling may be indicative of lifelong problems in learning new skills.
This is because children who fall behind in reading would read less, increasing the gap between them and their peers.
ONG THEORY
Jesuit priest explored how the transition from orality to literacy influenced culture and changed human consciousness. Ong describes writing as a technology that must be laboriously learned, and which effects the first transformation of human thought from the world of sound to the world of sight.
SOCIAL INTERACTIVIST THEORY
is an explanation of language development emphasizing the role of social interaction between the developing child and linguistically knowledgeable adults. It is based largely on the socio-cultural theories of Soviet psychologist, Lev Vygotsky.
MINIMAL PAIR
Minimal pairs are words that vary by only a single sound, be it vowel or consonant.A minimal pair is a pair of words with ONE phonemic difference only.
In order to decide whether a pair of words is a minimal pair or not, you need to know what sounds make up the word, and you need to IGNORE the word’s spelling
CAT BAT/ WIDE WISE/ KITE NIGHT
ORTHOGRAPHIC
representation of the sounds of a language by written or printed symbols. Graphemes correspond to phonemes
KRASHEN’S 5 MAIN HYPOTHESIS OF LANG ACQUISITION
- NATURAL ORDER Hypothesis- L2 much like L1 acquisition-(no babbling phase) silent-early prod, emergent, early lang proficiency
- ACQUISITION (home) interacting with people(BICS) VS. LEARNING(classroom)useful but not essential (CALP)
- MONITOR - As L2 develops proficiency they learn to self monitor
- INPUT- (like computer intake) strive for comprehensible input–connect with concepts they know “I”+1= input plus one- just a little more level then they know/understand
- AFFECTIVE FILTER- make them comfortable–you want a LOW affective filter
NEGATIVE TRANSFER
Sound exists in one language but not another
ALLOPHONES
phonetic variance (like an accent--regional-dog/dawg )that don't make a difference
FIVE FOUNDATIONS OF LANGUAGE
1-3 RULE BASED
- PHONOLOGY- show similarities between L1 &L2 –gives a foundation. SOUND AND SOUND SYSTEM //
- MORPHOLOGY-pieces of words that difference in meaning (ed, man, in, non, isn’t)
- SYNTAX- order of words
- SEMANTICS- meaning of words—DENOTATION (dictionary) CONNOTATION-meaning given to them (goodnight-bye/good evening –hello) good looking/looking good- collocations- FIRTH-words are the company they keep-co-location
- PRAGMATICS- not what you say it’s how you say it
Level of language as it functions and is used in social context –teaches nuance in language—things that aren’t in text book
4 COMPONENTS OF METALINGUISTICS
BODY LANGUAGE/GESTURE- eye rolls, gestures, shrugs
INTONATION- dinner time. Dinner time?
STRESS- emphasis on syllable Present/ Present
PITCH or TONE- Cantonese- tones mean different things
What are some techniques to teaching IDIOMS
Are funny expressions “hit the nail on the head”
1. Help students identifiy them
2. Large chart in classroom
3. ‘make a picture book
4. Draw from their L1 idioms—bird in the hand is used on other languages
Hard to understand because of metaphors
Why is English spelling so difficult?
- No Royal Language Academy to arbitrate the reform of spelling to eliminate inconsistencies.
- English generally retains the spelling of morphological units, even when pronunciation means that phonemes within these morphological units vary (ie- electric /k/ electricity /s/ electrician /sh/
WALQUI’s THEORY OF LANG ACQUISITION- factors
- Dialect &;Register-dialect in formal register in school different from L1
- Motivation- intrinsic-basic human need—student sees benefit for themselves-child wants to be competent—(go to store,make friends)
- Native Lang proficiency- more they know L1 better for learning L2(Krashen –nat order &Cummins- lang transfer) exchange students-more education do better
- Lang status- L1 has lower status than L2 learner may feel need to lose L1-not be associated with it (Italian)
- Pull of peer pressure-undermines efforts to teach L2-learn L2 you no longer fit into your L1 culture. Kid makes decision to learn or not learn.
What are 7
INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS CONTEXTUAL FACTORS:
- Tapping for prior knowledge
- Building background
- Setting content and lang objectives
- L1 as learning asset
- Prepare opportunities for interaction(bilingual dictionaries, group work each student has a role)
- Check for understanding
- Design higher order thinking projects—ELL students missing out on problem solving and THEMES –great way to teach higher idea
SHARE TWO TYPES OF STRUCTURED INTERACTION
- Traditional learning—teacher talking-students speak one at a time (10-2 ratio talk 10 share 2)
- Cooperative learning- group work-students opportunity to talk and practice lang at same time—assign roles in group work(red-recorder green-leader blue-sharer)rotate cards so all students have chance to practice role
Describe a write around
DIFFERENTIATION of groups is purposeful—group 1 animals are nouns-in L2 nouns are one of the first things learned. Group 2- verbs Group 4 adjectives
- level groups by prof level
FARM- Charlottes web-
GROUP 1 G2 G3 G4
Animals chores equipment smells
How do you check for understanding with beginning ELL
- thumbs up/thumbs down
- pointing
- sort things
- explain in your L1
- illustrate, draw, represent
- create a model
How do you check for understanding with beginning intermediate?
- either_____ or _____
- one word answer
- make a list, steps in sequence
- complete sentence frame or template
- complete graphic organizer
How do you check for understanding with intermediate ELL?
- either/or why?
- compare/contrast
- describe
- answer the 5 W’s
Define a Model instructional bilingual program
What is 50/50?
- builds on what students already know to help them develop English and academic knowledge.
- need to include a teacher who is fluent in conversational and academic English and the primary language of the program.
- Or the pairing of teachers so that students receive instruction from great language models in both of the languages
- excellent bilingual program would be based on increasing exposure to subjects taught in Sheltered English as English acquisition increases.
50/50: An immersion program model in which English and the partner language are each used for 50% of instruction at all grade levels. … Bilingual education: Used both as an umbrella term for dual language and transitional bilingual programs,
Define a Structured English Immersion Model
model that utilizes primary language support, sheltered instruction of core subject areas and major focus on ELD (English Language Development). ENGLISH IS THE LANG OF INSTRUCTION. Goal to get them prof. ASAP. Teacher skills would include understanding of basic linguistics including cognates in the student’s primary language and practice in delivering Specially Designed Academic Instruction in English (SDAIE) to provide comprehensible input.
