The all too familiar situation of English language learners (ELLs) struggling in a classroom that is not meeting their needs is the theme of this short film. ELL’s present unique challenges for teachers given how the California educational system calls for only one year of English language development (EDL). After this time, English language development goals rest on the shoulders of the general education teacher with the additional requirement of infusing SADIE strategies into their daily lessons.

There is an ancient Chinese proverb, that goes by “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”. Today, I would like to discuss my cousin, Stephanie Lam, who went to Taiwan one summer to teach English in a two week enrichment program. Her students, ranging from 12 to 17-year-olds, came from low-income families around Taiwan, seeking help in learning English, as they do not normally have the proper resources to do so. Though the language barrier was a formidable obstacle, Stephanie bonded with her students and other teachers, and greatly improved their English proficiency. Now, thanks to her, they understand a new language even better than they did before, and therefore have access to

My summer abroad in Guatemala, showed me the challenges and implications that come with teaching English as a Foreign Language. A specific challenge was to teach students who were Kaqchikel dominant instead of Spanish dominant.

Proper training provides any organization with the fundamental base for successful operations. The importance of training is even more crucial when teams are expected to deploy in small elements and provide commanders with operational and strategic options for the conduct of UW. The modern Jedburghs provide Joint Force Commanders with the capability to conduct the most difficult aspects of UW campaigns by understanding, influencing, and shaping the operational environment, deterring adversary forces, and when necessary, defeating threats to U.S. national security. The operational tempo that 4th BN’s face today obstructs from the operator’s ability to receive advanced unconventional warfare training, military training directly related to the

My eight years' work experience in an academic setting include post-secondary teaching of language and research seminar courses. In Canada, I have been working as an instructor, preparing and delivering courses, facilitating learning, and providing constructive feedback to students for the past four years. Moreover, I have two years of experience teaching at the University of Sao Paulo, in Brazil. The praising course evaluations completed by students at the end of each semester attest to my success in helping them improve their skills. I am also recognized by supervisors for effectively supporting student

Over the past four years since John started school in Australia his level of English has improved a lot; especially his receptive use of the language. John is a talented language student and is achieving great results in both additional languages he is studying at the moment, English and Japanese. Due to his cultural background John does not volunteer to speak freely during class. This makes it hard for his teacher to find the degree of depth of his understanding of new concepts learned in class. However, he is a passionate language learner and his focus is to perfect his knowledge in both additional languages.

In Repetitive Microteaching: Learning to Teach Elementary Social Studies, Anderson, Barr, and LaBAIJ (2012) investigated the influence of repeated practice through microteaching on multiple small groups of fourth grade students by preservice teachers. For each social studies lesson the preservice teachers would teach each small group of fourth graders four times in one single session. Anderson, Barr, and LaBAIJ (2012) found that the microteaching model in the elementary classroom provided repeated practice and authentic opportunities to preservice teachers.

Not only does professional development help me become a better teacher but also the courses from Walden University. I have learned and adapted numerous ideas from other teachers and professors. The strategies and teaching English language learner’s courses have been the most influential.

The objectives of the lessons include reinforcing learned vocabulary, in order to produce greater comprehension. Other objectives include fundamentals of writing and the way words are structured on a page, drawing simple conclusions based on the vocabulary and content, and beginning to determine the meaning of words as they are used in the content. In order for teachers to truly help students develop English language proficiency, the integration of content areas is essential (Echevarria, & Graves, 2014). The listening and thinking objectives will allow

TPR trains English Learner (EL) college students. It will require an instant reaction by the learner. Students break the poor practice of over-analyzing language as well as become much more comfortable with studying under the framework of the material. TPR do not require a verbal response from EL students. While efficiently implemented, EL students usually understand what is going on during TPR training. This results in an enhanced confidence and shrinking of the affective filter. The standards of TPR consist of: a) setting up a script - it is important not to modify the language midway by means of the lesson; b) scaffold mastering - TPR coaching needs to be viewed as an progression, with different language being

This program is designed for the unit of HSC English Standard which aims to develop students understanding, competency and appreciation of the English language.
