English Only Is it right for you?

What is English Only A style of immersion All classroom instruction takes place in English All response takes place in English All work is completed in English All English all the time.

Is English Only the Best Every environment is different Assess your classroom Do students spend more then 20% of the class time engaging the teacher in speaking or listening activities? Do students spend more then 20% of the time engaging each other in conversation or listening activities? Does the content being learned easily lend itself to group activities that would involve students speaking in English? Does the content being learned easily lend itself to activities that would involve students in listening, interpreting and responding in English? If the answers are yes, English Only may be right for you.

English Only: When Not to… There are times when English Only may not be necessary, consider the following: Do students spend more then 50% of class time on a regular basis on work that requires little or no interaction with the teacher or with peers? Do students focus primarily on silent writing and reading exercises? Do students have little peer to peer interaction? If the answer is yes, English Only may not be right for you.

Going English Only You choose an English Only classroom. What do you need? Policy It must apply to everyone who enters the classroom. It should be published and accessible by everyone who participates in the classroom All teachers, regardless of ethnicity, should adhere to the policy in your classroom Be consistent, make sure all student understand the policy

Sample Rules When establishing an English Only policy consider the following rules and three reminders Always speak and participate in English. Most important for the EO environment Try to speak English in sentences. Reminds students to try for longer more complete communication Try to ask questions in English. Encourages students to explore and learn to define English they need Remind your friends to speak English. Encourages peer support and positive peer pressure towards the policy

Other Policy Supporters Don’t keep the policy in your classroom only Put up signs outside the classroom Reminds everyone your space is an English Space Request acceptance from colleagues Get colleagues on board with policy Tell Administration Let administration know about the policy. Korean Embassy When necessary provide a space where it is okay to speak Korean for those time when it might be unavoidable like emergency’s or visitors needing to make an announcement

English Only Classroom Maintenance Strategies

Provide Language Don’t assume students will speak English just because it’s the policy. Make language posters to make language access able Provide students with scripts on worksheets or index cards Project language for specific assignments Use the white board for language reinforcement

Time Time is precious for teachers and making posters and cards takes time. Don’t do it yourself! You have a classroom full of helpers Have students make poster, cards, signs, and worksheets once a week or once a month Encourages student ownership of the policy It’s fun break from routine

Sample Language Sentence Stems I think … It is … This is … That is … I will … I need … I want … I can … We/he/she can … Let’s … Because… Before… After… Next… First, second, third, last… Question Stems What is…? What are…? Who is…? Where is…? Can I …? May I have…? Will you…? Will they…? What do I do (first, second, third) Can you repeat that? Will you explain…? What should I…? When is…? Where are…? What will…? Why? Here are some sample stems that might be excellent for posters in your environment:

Positive Reinforcement Praise don’t punish Negative reinforcements turns students away from English Positive Environments encourage speaking Distribute verbal praise for all attempts to speak English, even when it might not be perfect Model correct English to promote language production, rather then correcting misuse of Korean

Points System Use a points system to encourage English Incorporates natural competitiveness in a positive way Only provide points for speaking in English Do not take away points for speaking Korean Reward points loudly and noticeably Have students keep track of points on a long term basis Provide rewards for points over time, not immediately Remember, at some time everyone should be a winner

Teaching Strategies Be prepared to teach English only Find strategies and activities that all students can do in English Graduate the difficulty of classroom activities to promote student success Provide language necessary for specific tasks to allow all students to be successful Make sure students understand how English is the focus of the activity

Discipline Not the best, but if you must use discipline consider the following: Provide a warning Give students a verbal/visual warning to correct Korean speaking before disciplining, this will help students feel they have a chance for success within the system Be Consistent If you don’t follow your own policy, why should the students Anytime you discipline for a specific offense, always discipline for that. It takes time, but makes the policy more effective long term Encourage Students to Adopt the Policy Let groups self monitor and self police

English Only Final thoughts

English Only There is no best practice for you classroom, your classroom practice the best for you! Choose what works and be consistent If it’s your policy, stick to it all the time Support your students Give them tools to be successful Be creative Find ways that make it work for you A creative and flexible English classroom will always be more successful then on that is to rigid
