    CONTENT OBJECTIVES
    Using research based strategies to help
    English Language Learners
    Chunking content into digestible bites
    LITERACY OBJECTIVES
    Reading the article Let Them Talk to
    identify research based strategies for ELL
    Writing down the strategies that you learn
    from the article
    Listening to each other and what we learn
    from the article
    ESL DATA
    LANGUAGE LEVELS
    Silent/receptive
    This stage may last from several hours to
    several months, depending on the individual
    learner. During this time, new language
    learners typically spend time learning
    vocabulary and practice pronouncing new
    words. While they may engage in self-talk,
    they dont normally speak the language with
    any fluency or real understanding.
    LANGUAGE LEVELS
    Early production

    This stage may last about six months, during


    which language learners typically acquire an
    understanding of up to 1,000 words. They
    may also learn to speak some words and begin
    forming short phrases, even though they may
    not be grammatically correct.
    LANGUAGE LEVELS
    Speech emergence

    By this stage, learners typically acquire a


    vocabulary of up to 3,000 words, and learn to
    communicate by putting the words in short
    phrases, sentences, and questions. Again,
    they may not be grammatically correct, but
    this is an important stage during which
    learners gain greater comprehension and begin
    reading and writing in their second language.
    LANGUAGE LEVELS
    Intermediate fluency

    At this stage, which may last for a year or


    more after speech emergence, learners
    typically have a vocabulary of as many as
    6,000 words. They usually acquire the ability
    to communicate in writing and speech using
    more complex sentences. This crucial stage is
    also when learners begin actually thinking in
    their second language, which helps them gain
    more proficiency in speaking it.
    LANGUAGE LEVELS
    Continued language development/
    advanced fluency
    It takes most learners at least two years to
    reach this stage, and then up to 10 years to
    achieve full mastery of the second language in
    all its complexities and nuances. Second
    language learners need ongoing opportunities
    to engage in discussions and express
    themselves in their new language, in order to
    maintain fluency in it.
    LET THEM TALK
    The better ELLs can speak and
    understand English, the better
    they can read and write it.

    Read from Oral Language is Key to


    Developing ELLs English Speaking
    and Listening Skills.
    NUMBERED HEADS TOGETHER

    Then if your number is selected please stand


    and share with the large group.
    LET THEM TALK
    Discussions are what ELLs desperately need,
    enabling them to hear, learn, and use new
    vocabulary.

    NUMBERED HEADS TOGETHER
    What are some strategies that you could use
    during core instruction to support language?

    After writing the answer to the question


    teammates will put their heads together to
    ensure all members can answer.

    Then if your number is selected please stand


    and share with the large group.
    PAUSE RANK
    Review your notes and place three stars by
    the most important concepts.
    Rank your stars by importance.
    Share with another table group your list.

    This strategy allows ELLs more think time and


    a chance to share with a partner to confirm
    understanding of language and concept.
