Making Consistent Decisions About Accommodations for English Language Learners – Research Summit – Texas Comprehensive SEDL Austin, Texas March 16–17, 2009

Enhancing English language learners’ knowledge acquisition and vocabulary/concept learning: A content area intervention Sharon Vaughn, Leticia Martinez, Colleen Reutebuch, and Sylvia Linan-Thompson Meadows Center for Preventing Educational Risk at The University of Texas at Austin

About CREATE CREATE is a National Research and Development Center funded through the National Center for Education Research (NCER), Institute of Education Sciences (IES), U.S. Department of Education. It addresses specific challenges in the education of English language learners in the middle grades (Grades 4-8) CREATE is a partnership of researchers from several institutions: Texas Institute for Measurement, Evaluation, and Statistics, University of Houston Texas Institute for Measurement, Evaluation, and Statistics, University of Houston David J. Francis, Coleen D. Carlson California State University at Long Beach California State University at Long Beach Jana Echevarria,Catherine Richards Center for Applied Linguistics Center for Applied Linguistics Diane August,Deborah Short Harvard University Harvard University Catherine Snow University of California-Berkeley University of California-Berkeley Elfrieda Hiebert Meadows Center for Preventing Educational Risk, University of Texas at Austin Sharon Vaughn, Sylvia Linan-Thompson

Study Purpose Help teachers address challenges for instruction and knowledge acquisition of English language learners in 7th grade social studies classrooms. Examine the efficacy of incorporating English- as-a-second language enhancements, such as incorporating visuals and pairing students purposefully, into traditional instruction.

Overview Participants: Texas middle schools with 14% to 20%LEP students at 7th grade Social Studies teachers in Central Texas districts Social Studies class sections randomly assigned to control or intervention Study Timeline: Intervention lasted 12 to 16 weeks 3 days of pre-testing 3 days post-testing

Overview (cont.) Method: During professional development, teachers were trained to implement the intervention Teachers’ class sections were randomly assigned to intervention or control Intervention implemented 50 minutes, 5 days a week during regularly scheduled 7th grade social studies classes for weeks Research support person assigned to each intervention classroom Students in comparison sections received typical instruction Fidelity checks for all classrooms

Measures GRADE pre and post –Vocabulary –Comprehension Curriculum based content measures –Pre –Post Weekly CBM (vocabulary/comprehension quizzes for treatment only)

The Intervention Overarching activities: –focus on big idea and concept learning –use of peer mediated learning –provide opportunities for student discourse Four intervention components: –explicit vocabulary/concept instruction –strategic use of video and purposeful discussion to build concepts –use of graphic organizers and writing to build big ideas –use of peer pairing

Big Ideas The lessons focus on “big ideas” of content NOT details that are frequently disconnected and lack meaning.

Student Pairs The Class-wide Peer Tutoring model includes students with varying levels of English language proficiency in instructional interactions meant to promote academic and linguistic performance. Greenwood et al., 2001; Maheady, Harper, & Malette, 2001

Basic Lesson Framework The essential practices: Daily- 1.Start the lesson with an overview that incorporates the big idea. 2.Prioritize and explicitly teach concepts/vocabulary. 3.Use brief video clips to build concepts. 4.Read-aloud by teacher or with student partners. 5.Generate and answer questions. 6.Wrap-up with discussion, graphic organizer or activity.

Basic lesson Framework (cont.) Weekly- 1.Review and progress monitoring (vocabulary and comprehension quiz/CBM) 2.Whole class review of quiz items and clarification/re-teaching/re-enforcement of concepts, if necessary

Data Collection GRADE reading assessments were administered to all students in control and intervention sections pre- and post- intervention. Researcher developed content based measures were administered to all students pre- and post- intervention. Weekly curriculum based vocabulary and comprehension measures were administered in intervention class sections. Fidelity of implemented data was collected 3 times in intervention class sections. Observations were conducted 4 times in control class sections.

Year 3 Research team has added structure to peered- pairing work in order to facilitate discussion activities. Teachers received more training on how to scaffold some of the activities and strategies for students. More emphasis was put on instructional approaches such as pre-reading discussions and explicit teaching of comprehension strategies during teacher training and support.
