Morphology is the level of words
Semantics is the meaning, can refer to simple understanding of what a word means
Cognates are words related through the same origin...latin roots for english/spanish. the closer the language the more likely there will be cognates

Language variety which is determined neither horizontally nor vertically but according to its communicative functions. Includes oral and written mediums. Most speakers of any given language speak more than one register of a language registers
similar to the way children acquire their native language, subconscious process, informal acquisition
explicit presentation of rules and grammar, classroom instruction, formal learning
ESL students acquire language by comprehending what is being communicated the input hypothesis
anxiety, good self image, and interest and motivation are are elements of the affective filter hypothesis
There are affective elements that seem to affect the acquisition of language anxiety- a lower level of anxiety is desired good self image- avoid corrections and embarrassing situations for the student Interest and motivation-provide meaningful activities based on the student's motivation and cultural background
This acquirers not learners internalize grammatical structures in a predictable order the natural order hypothesis
natural order hypothesis certain grammatical structures or morphemes are acquired before others in first language acquisition, and a similar natural order is found in second language acquisition
Those who are acquiring language begin a process of monitoring their language through conscious corrections is the.. The Monitor Hypothesis
monitor hypothesis errors and error correction are both signs of developmental processes (growth)
Students should not be forced to communicate is part of the silent period
silent period students should be allowed to build up linguistic competence by active listening via the comprehensive input
BICS Basic, Interpersonal, Communication, and Skills
CALP Cognitive, Academic, Language, and Proficiency
According to Cummins students develop BICS approx. within 3 years after initial exposure to the new language
Accords to Cumms students develop CALP within 5-7 years, without ESL methods. This process can be accelerated with the use of appropriate ESL teaching methodology
BICS is Social, language used to communicate in everyday situations, context embedded language, takes 1-2 years for L2 to reach L1
CALP is Academic language, language used to develop higher order thinking skills, context reduced language, takes 5-7 years for L2 to reach L1
The language skills that newcomer students need can be divided into two categories receptive and production skills
the two receptive skills are listening and reading
The two production skills are speaking and writing
Students use production skills when they use language to express themselves and their thinking
Listening, speaking, reading, and writing develop simultaneously
Students need opportunities to develop all of their language abilities through different modalities and technologies
Spoken fluency cannot be taught directly it emerges naturally
Language acquisition is influenced by age, motivation/attitude, L1 proficiency, general intelligence, previous schooling, amount of exposure to language, availability of language models
What are types of motivation in SLA Instrumental motivation (survival--making a living), Integrative Motivation (meeting new people and cultures)
Instrumental motivation often results in subtractive bilingualism
Integrative motivation often results in additive bilingualism
learning a second langauage at the cost of losing that first one. Subtractive Bilingualism
learning a second language while maintaining the first one additive bilingualism
According to the Commissioner's Rules teachers must support students by addressing what needs affective, cognitive, and linguistic
The greatest motivation for any students to learn a second language is the desire to live in fellowship with those individuals that speak that language affective support
Affective support includes anxiety free learning situation, valued native language and culture, advocacy for right, opportunities for success
How do you meet the affective needs for your ells find out what they already know and build on that, allow them to use their native language when necessary and even teach others about their native language and culture, advocate for their rights
Cognitive support includes comprehensible input, learning and meta cognitive strategies, TEKS in english and in the content areas, higher level thinking skills
How do I meet the cognitive needs of my ells have high expectations, speak slowly enunciate clearly and don't use idioms without explaining them, make connections between concepts and vocab, teach students valuable study skills and thinking strategies, modify lessons
Linguistic support includes research based language instruction, meaningful interactions with more proficient english speakers, instruction designed for level proficiency, explicit vocab instruction
how do i meet the linguistic needs of my ells understand the language learning process and design instruction/questioning techniques and acceptable student responses for their proficiency level, expand and elaborate on what students are saying, increase interaction in class by grouping, correct error
What is language proficiency level of skill student demonstrates in a language, ability to understand messages, ability to express meaning effectively, ability to use language fluently across a variety of contexts, ability to self correct
Group students homogenously to work on specific strategies that they may need due to their L1
Group students heterogeneously to provide them with an expert to learn from (i plus 1)
Semantic student uses prior knowledge and experience to make sense of the content
Syntactic (structural) student uses knowledge of grammer to decide if a word is correct
Graphophonic (visual) student refers to letters and may make one or more sounds in the word, decides if word is visually correct
Students at this level are typically new to English language, they have minimal ability to derive meaning from English text, they generally understand very little English and tend to read very slowly and word by word Beginning Level of Reading Proficiency
to figure out the meaning, these readers rely heavily on previous knowledge of the topic at hand, the very limited number of English words and phrases they have learned, and information from picture Beginning Level of Reading Proficiency
comprehension quickly breaks down when they try to read texts written for non LEP students at their grade level Beginning Level of Reading Proficiency
For student at the beginning level of reading proficiency you should focus on context clues, comprehension, repetition, patterns, "safe way" to hear correct pronunciation (echo reading, choral reading, read alouds, read along centers)
somewhat larger English vocab, basic sense of the structure of the English language, but tend to interp text literally & have difficulty following story lines that have a twist intermediate reading proficiency
still rely heavily on what they already know about a topic to confirm meaning and increase comprehension and pictures that illustrate meaning are still a needed support Intermediate reading proficiency
can read and understand simple texts on familiar topics with some success, although they still have difficulty with materials for native speakers intermediate reading proficiency
fairly functional readers of english, their english reading vocab is much larger now advanced reading proficiency
students that can read longer, more complex texts because they are familiar with the structure of the english language and use this knowledge effectively to construct meaning advanced reading proficiency
can understand texts that introduce them to topics they know little about, & they can move beyond literal comprehension to apply more abstract and critical thinking skills as they read. d Advanced Reading Proficiency
Students at this level may still have difficulty with certain words and structures as compared to their native English-speaking peers, but with assistance they can usually understand materials written for their grade level. Advanced Reading Proficiency
While working with Advanced reading proficiency students you should focus on academic language, mechanics, HOTS, new genres, using "mentor texts"
While teaching reading DONT ask the student to read aloud for purpose of testing comprehension, don't worry about "native sounding" pronunciation
For spelling instruction you want to focus on patterns in language
