1 Literacy and Language Learning: Two Peas in a Pod
Terry NeSmith

2 Do Now Think about your own reading habits. Have you thought about how YOU read is reflected in your instruction?

3 Norms Be present and engaged.
Be respectful of differences in perspective while challenging each other productively and respectively. Monitor “air time.” Make the most of the time we have. Stay focused on students. Keep this slide – do not alter We will adhere to the following norms.

4 Objectives Know: how literacy manifests in foreign language learning.
Understand: The foreign language classroom is a place to reinforce core literacy skills using the language as a vehicle. Be Able to Do: Apply 3 powerful learning strategies and 3 key literacy strategies in the WL classroom.

5 (Readence, Bean, Baldwin 200)
Overall knowledge of text structures can aid students in comprehending, studying, and discussing key concepts. (Readence, Bean, Baldwin 200) To support CLIP Implementation across content areas and specifically in WL classrooms, connections will be made between key literacy strategies and WL instruction via the research cited above as well as other core literacy examples.

6 Three Powerful Learning Strategies
Predicting Connecting Organizing Connecting these 3 powerful learning strategies to the CLIP implementation in the WL classroom as an organizing structure for the 3 literacy strategies that will be introduced later in the presentation. Define strategy. Provide gen ed. examples. How does this look in WL classroom? Discuss with your elbow partner… At the end of each strategy partners will share out.

7 Giraffes Can’t Dance Presenter will demonstrate the 3 strategies while modeling with the children's books Giraffes Can’t Dance – ELMO will be used to project bookUse book to model how teachers would apply the strategies to a written text in the WL classroom.

8 What resonated with you? What is similar to your current practice?
Reflection: MODELING What resonated with you? What is similar to your current practice? What is different than your current practice? What are you going to change as a result? Turn and discuss with your partner Then share out in groups What are our big takeaways?

9 T3 Key Literacy Strategies that transcend all content
Knowledge rating F.L.I.P Text Structures Moving form general practices to specific literacy strategies to reinforce clip implementation in the WL classroom. The role of CLIP in the WL classroom is to reinforce core literacy strategies on LANGUAGE APPROPRIATE selections. These will not be the same types of readings they are doing in English class or other content areas in their first language. It is essential that we use core literacy strategies to further develop literacy IN L2 . Reading passages should be in the TARGET LANGUAGE . For novice learners in character-based languages transliterated passages such as pin yin for Chinese or Romaji for Japanese would be appropriate. Reading passages should NOT be in English. If you have been directed to do reading in English as a part of the WL class, please contact Alyssa or Jane to help mediate. It is essential for the Interpretive skill development that must be evidenced in the portfolio, that this occur in the target language.

Rating scales help students to actively look at and be aware of new vocabulary and to help activate prior knowledge.

13 T3 Key Literacy Strategies that transcend all content Knowledge Rating
An example strategy Turn to your partner and discuss how you could implement this strategy as a pre-reading activity instead of merely translating new words. Ask group to share out how it might be used at each level. Follow-up question: How can the teacher stay in the target language while introducing new vocabulary?

15 T3 Key Literacy Strategies that transcend all content F.L.I.P Strategy
F = Friendliness How easy is this text to read? L = Language Is the language easy or difficult to read? I = Interest How can you find this text interesting? P = Prior Knowledge What do you already know about ___ just by looking at the pictures, titles, and key words?

16 T3 Key Literacy Strategies that transcend all content F.L.I.P Strategy
Using a text they will read in the last session, presenter will lead participants through applying the F.L.I.P strategy to preview the afternoon session.

17 T3 Key Literacy Strategies that transcend all content
Knowledge rating F.L.I.P Text Structures

18 T3 Key Literacy Strategies that transcend all content Text Structures
How information is organized in a text Helps students recognize common structures just as Main idea Cause and effects Different views of a topic

19 T3 Key Literacy Strategies that transcend all content Text Structures
Same Structures: Description Cause and effect Comparison and contrast Order/sequence Problem-solution How would you align these structures to proficiency levels? How does this affect which texts you choose to present to students? What is the transfer effect to presentational writing?

20 Reflection: Application
What was easiest for you? What was most difficult? What else do you need to learn/do prior to applying to your classroom? Share your responses with a partner!

21 Objectives Know: how literacy manifests in foreign language learning.
Understand: The foreign language classroom is a place to reinforce core literacy skills using the language as a vehicle. Be Able to Do: Apply 3 powerful learning strategies and 3 key literacy strategies in the WL classroom. Review objectives

22 Reflection: One minute paper on post-it
Jot down your “Take-Aways” Consider what you need to know and be able to do to successfully implement what you have learned in this session. What is still unclear? What professional development or additional resources do you need? Presenters please collect post-it notes at the end of each session. Prepare an analysis of the responses and be prepared to share out in DLD debrief.
