question

In a school where numerous ELL students of the same language group are present, the most efficient way to ensure conformity with the Consent Decree may be

answer

Pull-out classes for Language Arts and science, mainstream for math. The reason is that in many cases, where students come to the U.S. with previous schooling, it is considered unnecessary, and indeed undesirable, for students to be pulled-out for math classes since math symbols are usually universal. Therefore, students will probably benefit more from remaining in the regular math classroom.

Who is the researcher that is must identified with the importance of working through problems to obtain a solution and to learn a foreign language?

answer

Prabhu. He researched the effectiveness of problem solving as a means for students to acquire the language they need to learn English versus the learning of the language in order to solve problems. His students used information-gap activities, reasoning activities, and opinion-gap activities to acquire the new language they needed.

question

Which instructional approach emphasizes LEPs working on content material?

answer

CALLA (Cognitive Academic Language Learning Approach). It is the brain-child of Chamot and O'Malley. It is based on the principle that the child learns far more language in content classes than in ESOL pull-out classes. CALLA integrates language development, content area instruction and explicit instruction in learning strategies.

question

The Schema Theory of Carrell & Eisterhold suggests that for learning to take place, teachers must

answer

Relate new materials to previous knowledge. The Schema Theory of Carrell & Eisterhold suggests that schema must be related to previous knowledge otherwise learning will not take place. When activated, schema are able to evaluate the new materials in light of previous knowledge. If the arguments made convince the learner, he or she accepts them and integrates the new knowledge in to his data bank. Otherwise, if the new materials are unconvincing, the new knowledge is rejected by the learner.

question

According to Cummins' four levels of difficulty, the high school math teacher whose ELLs work on standard workbook problems, is using

answer

Level 4: Cognitively demanding / Context-reduced materials. Math materials in high school are cognitively demanding, but standard workbook activities are not related to a context the ELLs are familiar with - their school, their community, or their families - and are therefore, context-reduced.

question
