communication and meaningful
acquisition of knowledge

- language=a medium of instruction and learning
- Integrated Content-Based Instruction
- ESL teacher typically delivers classroom instruction
- promotes negotiation of meaning in context
- key factors
- use of a variety of media
- For this, I often use TED Talk, movie clips, songs (there are tons of
children's English songs on YouTube), podcasts from NPR or Voice of
America, reading materials from Readworks, and so on, depending on the age level.

- ease the transition for ELL from
special English instruction to the
general education classroom
- exclusively of English learners
- content subjects taught with modifications
- making content accessible
- making content accessible
- delivered by a content subject teacher with some expertise
in ESL methodology or team-taught by an ESL
teacher&content subject teacher
- explicitly emphasizes language and content objectives
- This seems to be one of the most important thing in SIOP model.
A teacher may inform the lesson objectives in the beginning of
class. This will guide students to know what to focus and prevent
them from feeling lost in the middle of the class.

many challanges that CLD
students confront. Profives
instruction that is
comprehensible, relevant,
motivating.

curriculum, instruction,

developing academic

- THREE INTEGRATED COMPONENTS
- topics from the major content subjects
- a foundation for learning grade-level
information in academic subjects
- practice skills & processes in the content area
- more motivating than language alone
- authentic context for learning
- identify content objectives
- linking the topic to prior knowledge
- hands-on, minds-on experiences
- use of technical vocabulary
- explicit instruction in strategies
- Although it was in a different setting, I remember this was an important aspect of English classes
in Korean public schools. I used to work as an English textbook developer and developing
curriculum was one of my jobs. We had a guideline for public education from the Department of
Education, and were required to integrate content subject areas and English language functions.
For example, in a chapter, students would learn climate change (science) and language phrases
"we should/shouldn't".
- a foundation for learning grade-level
information in academic subjects
- development of academic language & literacy
- includes all four language skills
- model academic language
- encourage students' language awareness
- higher-level questions
- I find Bloom's taxonomy so much
helpful. When preparing questions
prior to the class, I usually check
with this to make sure I'm
providing questions in different
levels.
