This development is strongly linked to communication and language development. 3. Communication – this area of development is about learning to communicate with other people and understanding their communications. Talking, reading and writing and also use of gestures are all aexamples of skills that most children learn. Communication and language development are linked to cognitive development because more sophisticated communication involves thinking about what others are trying to convey as well as thinking about what you are trying to express.
Other strategies to responding to information effectively are discussing topics with others, explaining examples, summarizing main points to a friend, attending group sessions, using visuals and pictures, and remembering examples, jokes, or stories to remember or explain something. These effective learning techniques allow for certain people to comprehend and to adapt to the information more concise. (http://www.vark-learn.com/english/index.asp) Aura is a specific learning style, the multiple different strategies contained into the style consists of many strategies.
Some people may find that they have a main style of learning, with a lesser amount ofuse of the other styles. Therefore learning can be affected by your learning styles, but there are many other influences on learning which I will describe in this leaflet that an affect you’re learning here at South West College. The main influences on learning that I will describe in further in detail are: - Theories of learning - Influences on learning - Skills for learning - Support for learning - Learning opportunities Theories of learning: A learning style is "the way in which an individual experiences the world and how that individual processes and integrates new information." Through the use of "'Learning Styles' just as we receive information about the world around us through our five senses, we also have individual sensory preference as to how we recreate and make sense of that information." (Smith, 2001) These preferences can be visual, auditory or kinaesthetic (VAK).
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.
Aural/Auditory Learners: Spoken/Heard instructions facilitate learning for his type of individual. Lecture sessions, discussion groups, emails and recordings are devices that helps people with this learning preference to explore and discuss concepts with others and understand what works best for them in learning environments. Read/Write Learners: Learners who choose this preference learn best when they receive and return information as words. Communication may be penned or typed. The mechanisms of choice are PowerPoint, the Internet, dictionaries, text signs and written responses.
Different people adjust to different strategies. Most people adjust to more than one strategy. We just need to identify which ones through assessment. How the Awareness of Learning Strategies Influence Teaching and Learning It is important for teachers to understand what a student is going through in their process of learning new information. If you know the learning style of the student, it is easier to convey the message you are trying to convey.
Donald Bear, Marcia Invernizzi, Shane Templeton, and Francine Johnston (2008) explain that there are two purposes for word studies. First is to help students develop a general knowledge of English spellings. Second, word study increases their specific knowledge of the spelling and meanings of words. Word studies are developmental because teachers must differentiate instruction for different levels of word knowledge (Bear et. Al, 2008).
Children are seen as emergent readers and writers, who bring to school with them a whole variety of skills and knowledge with which the teacher can work with. As language and literacy (or English) teachers, it is up to us to analyse and asses the needs of children according to; theories of development (Piaget, Vygotsky, Wilkinson, Luke & Freebody), developmental practices (socio-cultural), prior knowledge (grammar, punctuation, orthography, text-types), establish their skills base (reading [invented spelling], writing) to help determine what phase children are in according to their stage of development, what there ZPD’s are, and thus establish a teaching strategy to help scaffold their learning, giving them the skills to enter society as literate adults, as summed up by Gardner (Gardner & Brockman, 2000): ‘I want people at the end of their education to understand the world in ways that they couldn’t have understood it before their
They also agree that children's speech is an important part of their cognitive development and that it occurs in distinct stages. Piaget's views differ from Vygotsky's in several different areas. Piaget believes that learning occurs from a succession through stages of cognitive development through the implementation of maturation, discovery methods, and some social communication that occurs through assimilation and accommodation. Piaget's view of learning is based on an understanding of construction modes. Individuals construct their own meaning
Focusing so hard on excelling in English I was having a hard time acknowledging the basic sentence patterens staying devoted I past it. As growing up and still intrigue about learning more english, shockingly there is more that must be learn. Learning the importance of English I gained hobbies, education, and my writting technique. Over the years I have growned and I use English in my everyday life. I enjoy that I was able to learn how to comprehend the words that I was brought upon and use them to my advantage.As I got better understanding English I seem to be amired by books that keep me amazed by the knowledge that I learn from what I have read.
