All languages can have different
features but they all have the same
principles, like verbs, nouns, and
adjectives.
You can connect it to the classroom like
Chomsky does by putting the languages you
are going over all beside each other and
compare the key words in the sentences.
Comprehensible Imput
Stephen Krashen
It is a method that relates the world and
pictures to the language, to give you and idea
of what the teacher is talking about
As a teacher you could have a picture of something in your subject. For
instance, I am history so could have a ship and put all of the parts of the ship
in German and you could relate what you know in English to the German
word.
Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills
Jim Cummins
These are skills that a lot of English language learners
use in social situations. Where the tsudent can use
his eyes and other parts to get his point accross.
To take this to the classroom, I think it is good to
evaluate the child and make sure what he is learning is
in a social standpoint but also in an educational
stanpoint
Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency
Jim Cummins
This is more Classroom talk, it it takes a lot longer for the
child to learn this because there are not many verbal cues
anymore.
To me this is like teaching in a classroom where you have to be
with the student and help them whenever they need it because it
takes a lot longer to learn this so, slowing down your lesson and
meeting with the student after class possibly.
English Language Development Instruction
William Sanders, David Marceletti
The main goal to ELD is of course to teach the English language as
simple as possible. They use multiple activities to help students
understand the concept.
You could do activities to help students by talking out loud and them going over words and telling stories
about experiences and pointing at things in the room to help the kids put two and two together.
Grammar Translation
Grammar translation is drilling the point across on grammar and structure
from the second hand language to the first hand language. It really gets the
student to memorize the vocab words and helps them learn it for future use.
i think to use this as a teacher could be useful but I feel that I
would love for my kids to learn vocab but I would'nt want to
force them to learn it. So as a teacher I don't know if I would use
this model but it seems like it would work on certain students
but I feel that they would get tired of it since they had to learn it.
Diaz Rico
The Interactionist Model
It is holding face to face conversations with the student so it easier
for them to pick up on sounds and grammar and possibly use
motions to demonstrate what you are talking about.
This coule be something you do with the student after class or you could do this in class with the
other students helping him. You could set up assignments where its a group effort and get the
children to help the ELL learn things by having conversations with him.
