EDAS 641 Resource Application After summarizing and analyzing research from four different sources that will benefit the volunteer teacher, Ms. Rowe, the study aims to strengthen the teacher's core classroom instruction and intervention with English Language Learner (ELL) students. As a dedicated teacher, Ms. Rowe is committed to providing the best possible education to her students, including ELL students. One of the key findings of this research is the importance of phonological awareness and explicit instruction in vocabulary. By applying the findings, the teacher will be able to enhance the language abilities of her students by the end of kindergarten. Each resource discusses research studies on improving literacy skills for young ELL learners. These studies focus on the importance of phonological awareness and explicit instruction in vocabulary to enhance English language acquisition for non-native speakers. All the resources highlight the significance of cultural and linguistic diversity in education and emphasize the need to provide equitable support to students from diverse backgrounds. Research-Based Strategies Strategy 1: Provide Explicit Instruction Explicit instruction is an effective way to improve vocabulary and phonemic awareness in learners. In order to help students acquire new language skills, educators should provide clear and direct instruction. To make explicit instruction more engaging, teachers can incorporate games, songs, and other interactive activities into the learning process. This can make language learning more enjoyable and engaging, especially for young learners. Strategy 2: Encourage Peer Interaction Peer interaction can be an excellent way for learners to practice their language skills in a low-risk environment. They encourage learners to work in pairs or small groups to practice speaking and listening skills. Strategy 3: Use Real-Life Examples Using real-life examples can help learners understand how new language skills can be applied in real-world situations. This can make language learning more relevant and meaningful for learners. Selected Strategy After carefully reviewing each strategy and rationale and collaborating with Ms. Rowe, we have decided that the improvement plan for her teaching should include explicit instruction. Our main focus is on enhancing her core instruction and intervention with her English Language Learner (ELL) students, and explicit instruction appears to be the best strategy for achieving this goal. During our discussion, we also concluded that while Ms. Rowe's primary focus should be on explicit instruction, she can also incorporate the other two strategies of encouraging peer interaction and using real-life examples. We believe that these strategies complement her main goal of improving her students' vocabulary and phonemic awareness. A CTION R ESEARCH C ASE S TUDY : P ROPOSAL – P ART 2: S TRATEGIES A SSIGNMENT
