Modifying a Lesson Plan for English Language Learners (ELL) By Linda Brown Teaching Literacy to ELL Students E6536 Instructor: Ella Benson Argosy University As the number of English learners increases in schools across the United States, educators are seeking effective ways to help them acquire the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in the classroom. The SIOP Model* is a research-based and validated model of sheltered instruction. Professional development in the SIOP Model helps teachers plan and deliver lessons that allow English learners to acquire academic knowledge as they develop English language proficiency. The Center for Applied Linguistics is an excellent place for educators to gather research-based tools for working effectively with English Language Learners.This is a model, I will use to create a lesson plan for ELL students. The key points are to clearly post, refer to, and review learning objectives and language objectives.
Social factors – An example of a possible social factor could be a young person having to deal with the separation of their parents. The young person being brought up in this setting living with one parent and visiting the other parent in a new home may have a negative impact on a child emotionally. This separation from having both parents around you in the same home to having only one parent in the family home can cause a child to feel very upset and alone during this transition. This will also cause a lot of confusion, insecurities including lack of trust to adults around them and becoming afraid of caring for adults in and around their family homes. Another example could be the young person offending or being involved in anti social behaviour.
Some families may move house a few times throughout live. This can affect the child as they have to make new friendship and get use to a new area they have moved too. Children and young people can not do anything to their transition and can be daunting like: first day that school, first exam, first sexual experience, most of these are navigated. The experience they gain can help them learn to deal with the challenges of life ahead. The range of transitions faced by children and young people includes: Moving schools or class Puberty Bereavement Parents splitting up Illness (Parents or siblings) Changing friend Groups:
If parents take much time at work for example the time spent by Chris in Iraq, their children may end up being poor performers in school which will impact negatively on their lives in the future. So they need to be able to attend to their work and to children too because they need support both in education and in the social perspective of growth. Parents are important because they take a large part in their children growth in the sense that they teach them most of the things about life. In socialisation process of life in which individuals are taught about, customs, culture, and beliefs, parents are the main contributors of ensuring their children are aware of those matters. It is because they are the close parties to them, and it is also their mandate to ensure culture is
Factors such as these make it very difficult for a student to adjust socially, or develop problem-solving skills in the classroom and therefore lead to disruptive behavior problems (Yell, et al, 2009). External factors originate in the child’s environment. For example the home life of a student can trigger EBD.
Explain how development of children and young people is influenced by a range of personal factors. Write your answer here. Family is an external development and can have an impact on development as far as social development is concerned, if you are perhaps a single parent this can cause a negative impact with your development as perhaps without both parents a child may miss either a male/female role model, a positive point for a one parent family is that a child may be more mature as more one to one adult company is available and this can assist confidence. Family can effect intellectual and communication development in a positive light as interaction with others can increase vocabulary and understanding but may also impact if there are negatives in the family, i.e. : family break-up, new partner, this can effect a Childs ability to concentrate and leaning and education are effected.
Also I think that middle school students are under a lot of pressure. I say that because we have more events in middle school and if your work is not done you will not be able to attend the events that they have planned for us. I think that all of the stress and pressure is coming from the teachers and parents. I say that because parents want their kids to do good and kids try so hard to make their parents proud and end up stressing
It will take a very long time for a child or young person to be able to trust the carer’s and their family and be able to feel settled in their new home as they may feel like an outsider and do not belong here. When children come into care it will affect them and other people, for the child or young person they will have mood swings, negative behaviour and sometimes regress back to an earlier age, for the parents they will feel angry and upset that their child has been taken away and don’t always co-operate with the authorities, as foster carer’s we will have added responsibilities and will have to deal with any issues that arise, such as consoling the child and make sure they feel safe in a calming environment. Our own children can be affected if
Children may react very differently to a transition, depending on how other people react to the transitions and when it happens. For example, going up a year in Year 1 may make the child feel displaced, unfamiliar, insecure and stressed. They will be uncertain of whether or not they will get on with the new teacher, any potentially new classmates and whether or not they like the classroom environment. If they do not adapt or problems arise with this transition than the child may start to not concentrate in class, listen to the teacher, complete the work set, refuse to go to school and, depending on the personality of the child, they may become passive and withdrawn, be bullied and lose friends or start to bully, become rude, interruptive and may refuse to
They use language to explore their own experiences and imaginary worlds.” (http://www.education.gov.uk/schools/teachingandlearning/curriculum/primary/b00198874/english/ks1) The National Curriculum gives practitioners/teachers guidance on what a child should lean and be able to do by the end of Key Stage one. During English lessons the children will learn how to communicate confidently and effectively, this will help the development of their communication and language while developing some of the key aspects to their Literacy. Communication is the art of interactions with
