Conceptualizing Language Use & Second Language Learning Contextual Support Cognitive Demand & Content in Context Language as Context & Language as Content Summarized by Brandi Pineda

1. BICS and CALP can be seen in terms of context and cognitive demand in various combinations. 2. Both comprehension of the text and production of an essay depend heavily on knowledge of language itself. 3. Teaching and learning activities which are well supported by contextual cues are more comprehensible. Conceptualizing Language Use and Second Language Learning

1.Cognitive demand is realized through learning tasks 2.Cognitive demand has to be seen in terms of curriculum content 3.Cognitive demand of any learning task is seen through the content knowledge and skills to be learned

Providing contextual support for second language learners in the classroom means a highly language conscious approach to the learning environment and the content to be learned.

Section 2 Chapter 3 Summary Curriculum Related Assessment Questions CRA’S Pros &Cons Current Formative Assessment Dangers Summarized by Calise Cardin

Using Curriculum Related Assessment Sheets in the Classroom Questions a teacher should ask before using this method of Assessment: 1. Analyze the task by looking at the linguistic and cognitive demands. 2. Look at the linguistic demands in relation to linguistic ability of the child. 3. Can the task be more context embedded by making it more culturally relevant? 4. How else can the task be more context embedded if this is necessary? 5. Is the child grouped with supportive monolingual role models? (Cummins, pg. 41)

CRA Sheets Pros & Cons Accurate data on the student Can be used to show students growth Provide Evidence of Instructional Strategies Only Useful for Students with problems Can’t be used with every student Time consuming Pros Cons

What Standardized testing does What CRA Sheets Do: Provide “fair assessment of what bilingual learners can do.” (Cummins pg. 48) Give the teacher knowledge of students current abilities Can be used as a guide for what strategies to implement and used to help guide instruction. Provide accurate results that can be used in formal and informal assessments. The danger of such standardized tests is that it may be assumed from their results that bilingual learners are cognitively inferior to their monolingual peers. This in turn may mean that negative assumptions are made about the intellectual ability of bilingual learners so that they are given work that is less cognitively demanding.( Cine and Frederickson,pg.48)

Summarized by Cassandra Silva

The process where curriculum aims, teaching & assessment methods, resources & tasks are planned by teachers to take account of individual student need. There are 3 different dimensions of differentiation: I.The particular learning styles & needs of individual pupil need. II.The requirements of the learning task III.The context of the situation where the learning will take place. Differentiation could be seen as teachers using information about pupils’ needs & knowledge about task demands and contexts to plan an appropriate curriculum.

By Task Requires the teacher to develop activities which help students achieve the lesson objective. We as teacher should set different tasks within a common area of study. By Outcome Involves setting a common task for the class. Students learning will be varied according to their individual capacity and interests.

I.Working in Partnership: standard practice to support students learning English as a 2 nd language w/in a mainstream classroom. II.The role of talk in the classroom: an essential part of learning for bilingual students is working in groups. Talking with others is the key to language acquisition. III.Use of mother tongue in the classroom: bilingual students must be encouraged to use their first language in the classroom because it confirms meaning and the conceptualization of complex issues will be improved. IV.Active & collaborative learning in small groups: students that work together get to share skills and ideas. Working together develops a supportive classroom atmosphere where students learn to give and receive help from each other independently of the teacher.

Cummins has devised a model where the different tasks we expect our students to engage are categorized. These tasks range in difficulty along one continuum from cognitively straightforward to cognitively challenging; and along the other continuum from context-embedded to context-reduced. –A context-embedded task is one in which the student has access to visual and oral cues; for example looking at illustrations of what is being talked about or ask questions to confirm understanding. – A context-reduced task is listening to a lecture or reading dense text, where there are no other sources of help than the language itself. – A D quadrant task, which is both cognitively demanding and context- reduced, is usually the most difficult for students, mostly for non-native speakers in their first years of learning English. However, it is essential that ESL students develop the ability to accomplish such tasks, since academic success is impossible without it. (Shoebottom)

Challenges of Bilingualism for Teachers: –Raising teacher expectations –Raising educational achievement –Accessing bilingual students to National Curriculum –Early identification of bilingual students who may have learning problems. Cummins Framework address all these issues Cummins’ research also explains that many bilingual students need 5-7 years experience of classroom learning in order to obtain the kind of language proficiency to achieve good grades within demands of our exams system.

ASSESSMENT IN PRACTICE SCIENCE: ROCK LESSON Using the Aims Web to assess students vocabulary knowledge of a topic covered in class

Background Information: Students have just finished a unit on rocks. Assessment Format : Using the AMI’S Web format, an reading and vocabulary assessment is formed. Using the book The Magic School Bus : Rock Collection, pieces of this story are used to form (see next slide for assessment) What this tool will show: It will allow the teacher to see if all students are familiar with and able to use the key vocabulary that was learned in this unit of study. Most Amis Web Assessments are given one minute to finish. This assessment is untimed because we want to see what words students know instead of their fluency. Using AMI’S Web as a Summative Assessment

Most of the solid part of the earth is made up of great masses of 15 rock. The small rocks that we collect are just pieces that broke off from 29 huge masses. There are three types of rocks. The first type is sedimentary. 42 This rock is made up of sediments, looks like pieces of sand glued 55 together. A second type of rock is metamorphic rock. This rock is 67 made by heat and pressure. A third type of rock is igneous. 79 This rock is made by heat, it is also known as a volcanic rock. 93 All rocks are composed of minerals. Minerals are made up of 104 elements.
