There are times when educators are asked to embed all of their explicit instruction about language forms
Question:
There are times when educators are asked to embed all of their explicit instruction about language forms in activities that are organized around meaningful subject and to contextualize all of their instruction about language forms. However, is it possible for such immediately contextualized teaching to be comprehensive enough to be successful without going on a long formal detour that makes it difficult to get back onto the main meaning road or forces one to give it up entirely? How long should you pause the reading of a child or a group so that the child or group can be instructed in a frequent spelling pattern rather than receiving assistance with a specific word? How much instruction on grammar or paragraphing should you aim to incorporate into writing conferences? [Creative Writing] How much ad hoc, just-in-time instruction of a second language ought to be added into existing conversations geared for communicative learning and how much should it be? When it comes to instruction of this kind, are there times when it is important, in addition to providing assistance on the spot, to make a note of difficulties and needs and deal with them in a manner that is more thoroughly planned at a later time?
Please watch the following video: "Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages to Read." In conjunction with this piece of media, take some time to focus about the strategies for teaching literacy that are utilized at your school or at a school that you are familiar with. Instructional frameworks, such as the writers' and readers' workshops, as well as pre-packaged programs, such as basal readers, are two examples of the possible techniques that might be taken. What were the considerations that led to the selection of these particular strategies? What do you consider to be the positives and negatives of these different techniques when it comes to teaching ELLs? What kind of effects have these factors had on the kids' ability to learn literacy? What would you and your coworkers do differently if you were tasked with the responsibility of providing the kind of impactful education that is required to lead pupils to high levels of literacy? Or would you like to maintain the status quo?
