Title: Nuts


1
Nuts Bolts
  • Structured English Immersion Models
  • Round 1

2
Welcome
  • Optimize our time together
  • Respect presenters (limit side-bar conversations)
  • Monitor personal technology
  • Listen participate actively

3
Our Mission
  • We are here to ensure academic excellence for all
    students.

4
Goal
  • Explain the new law that went into effect on
    September 21, 2006 that will substantially change
    the way ELL students are educated in Arizona.

5
Objectives
  • History of the law
  • Model development process
  • Components of the models
  • English Language Development
  • Compliance with the law
  • SEI Incremental Cost Budget Form

6
Classroom Observations
  • Some teachers are not fluent in English
  • Some ELL students are unable to comprehend
    classroom activities
  • Some ELL students in high school are failing
    content classes because they are not proficient
    in English
  • Some ELL students are being improperly placed in
    bilingual classrooms

7
Classroom Observations
  • At some schools the only ELD provided is by
    paraprofessionals
  • Some teachers don't know which of their students
    are classified as English Language Learners or
    their English language proficiency level
  • On average, only 12 of ELL students become
    proficient each year

8
ELD Survey in Arizona
  • 30-60 minutes
  • of ELD is the norm in Arizona
  • ELL Program Survey, February 2007
  • Presentations to the Task Force

  • What is the history of the law?

10
Lau v. Nichols (1974)
  • U.S. Supreme Court
  • A class action suit filed on behalf of
    non-English speaking students of Chinese ancestry
    in the San Francisco school system

11
Lau v. Nichols (1974)
  • Ruling A unanimous decision based on 601 of
    the Civil Rights Act of 1964, declared there is
    no equality of treatment merely by providing
    students with the same facilities, textbooks,
    teachers, and curriculum for students who do not
    understand English are effectively foreclosed
    from any meaningful education

12
Lau v. Nichols (1974)
  • Basic English skills are at the very core of
    what public schools teach. Imposition of a
    requirement that, before a child can effectively
    participate in the educational program, he must
    already have acquired those basic skills is to
    make a mockery of public education. We know that
    those who do not understand English are certain
    to find their classroom experiences wholly
    incomprehensible and in no way meaningful.
  • English language acquisition gives students an
    equitable competitive edge in their future. (i.e.
    college, business)

13
Lau v. Nichols (1974)
  • Districts must take affirmative steps to
  • rectify the language deficiency in order
  • to open its instructional program to
  • these students
  • No specific remedy is urged

14
Castañeda v. Pickard (1981)
  • U.S. Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit
  • Parents of Mexican-American children in Texas
    charged the Raymondville Independent School
    District with instructional practices that
    violated their childrens rights

15
Castañeda v. Pickard (1981)
  • Ruling The grouping of children on the basis of
    language for a language remediation program is
    an unobjectionable practice

16
Castañeda v. Pickard (1981)
  • "Thus, as a general rule, school systems are free
    to employ ability grouping, even when such a
    policy has a segregative effect, so long, of
    course, as such a practice is genuinely motivated
    by educational concerns and not discriminatory
    motives."

17
Castañeda v. Pickard (1981)
  • Formulated a Three-Prong Federal Test to
    determine district compliance with the Equal
    Education Opportunity Act (1974 Amendments)
  • Compliance requires the satisfaction of three
    criteria
  • Program based on sound educational theory
  • Implement the program with the instructional
    practices, resources and personnel
  • Must not persist in a program that fails to
    produce results

18
Castañeda v. Pickard (1981)
  • Stated that the EEOA . . . 1703(f) leaves
    schools free to determine the sequence and manner
    in which limited English speaking students tackle
    this dual challenge so long as the schools design
    programs which are reasonably calculated to
    enable these students to attain parity of
    participation in the standard instructional
    program within a reasonable length of time after
    they enter the school system

19
Castañeda v. Pickard (1981)
  • Described 2 options for teaching ELL students
  • Sequential
  • 1.) Teach English
  • 2.) Teach content
  • Allowed for language ability based grouping
  • Simultaneous
  • Teach English and content conjointly

20
Flores v. Arizona (1992)
  • Arizona District Court
  • A lawsuit was filed in Nogales, AZ alleging a
    violation of the Equal Education Opportunity Act
    (1974 Amendments)
  • Final ruling is still pending

21
Flores v. AZ (August 2000) Consent Order
  • Standardize methods of identifying LEP students
  • Arizonas current assessment ? AZELLA ?
  • Establish uniform performance standards for
  • English proficiency
  • Alignment of curriculum with standards
  • Establish criteria for individual learning plans
  • Compensatory Instruction
  • ADE monitoring and compliance

22
Proposition 203 (November 2000)
  • Repealed existing English language education
  • statutes and enacted a new law that requires
  • schools to teach English through Structured

  • What is ELD?

68
ELD Components
Phonology Speech, sounds
Pragmatics How you use language
Morphology Parts of words, verb tenses
Semantics Meaning of words or sentences
Vocabulary
Syntax Grammar, sentence structure, language
rules
Lexicon Collection of words you know
69
Phonology
  • Not connected to print
  • Studies the SOUND patterns of a specific language
  • Phonology describes the way sounds function
    within a given language or across languages
  • An important part of phonology is studying which
    sounds are distinctive units within a language -
    in English, for example, /b/ and /d/ are
    distinctive units of sound
  • aBove v. a Dove

70
Morphology
  • Parts of words adding affixes to change base
    words
  • Verb tenses
  • Word families
  • addend
  • additive
  • add addendum
  • adding
  • added
  • addition

71
Syntax
  • Focuses on the form of language not meaning
  • The rules that govern the structure of sentences
  • Algorithm of language
  • Horizontal flow L ? R
  • Sentences are like a train that has to be in
  • specific order
  • I like fluffy kittens.
  • NOT ? Fuffy kittens I like.

72
Lexicon
  • The collection of words you know
  • Lexicon organizes the mental vocabulary
  • in a speaker's mind
  • Word list, dictionary, glossary
  • blackberry
  • outback
  • davenport

73
Semantics
  • The study of meaning in a language
  • Lexicon Semantics Vocabulary
  • a pull-down menu
  • I like fluffy kittens.

kitties cats felines
love adore
74
Pragmatics

  • The decoding of meaning in language and involves
    three major communication skills
  • 1. Using language for different purposes, such as
  • greeting (e.g.,  hello, goodbye)
  • informing (e.g., I'm going to get a cookie)
  • demanding (e.g., Give me a cookie)
  • promising (e.g., I'm going to get you a cookie)
  • requesting (e.g., I would like a cookie, please)

75
Pragmatics
  • 2. Changing language according to the
  • needs of a listener or situation, such as
  • talking differently in a classroom with students
    than with adults in the teachers lounge
  • use of appropriate intonation
  • giving background information to an unfamiliar
    listener
  • speaking differently in a classroom than on a
    playground

76
Pragmatics
  • 3. Following rules for conversations
  • and storytelling, such as
  • taking turns in conversation
  • introducing topics of conversation
  • staying on topic
  • rephrasing when misunderstood
  • how to use verbal and nonverbal signals

77
ELD and ContentThe lesson objective is ELD.
  • Classroom materials used in an ELD class may
    reflect content from a variety of academic
    disciplines. Classroom materials must be
    appropriate for the students level of English
    language proficiency. Selection of content
    materials must be based on the materials
    effectiveness in facilitating and promoting the
    specific English language objective(s) of the
    class. Such materials must predominantly feature
    specific language constructions that align with
    the English language objectives based on the ELL
    Proficiency Standards and the DSI (SEI Models,
    September 13, 2007)

78
ELD and Content
  • The lesson objective is ELD
  • ELD is distinguished from other types of
    instruction, e.g., math, science, or social
    science, in that the content of ELD emphasizes
    the English language itself. (SEI Models of the
    Arizona English Language Learner Task Force, June
    15, 2007)
  • ELD is not a math, science or social studies
    lesson. Content from academic subjects are the
    vehicles to help achieve the goal of developing
    English language.

79
  • ELD is the driver
  • Academic content is the vehicle
