2. Content Objectives
Our mission for this week will be to:
Identify the key attributes of building background,
comprehensible input, learning strategies,
interaction, practice & application, lesson delivery,
and review & assessment.
Distinguish factors in “sheltering” a lesson to
ensure that it is comprehensible for CLD students.
Apply strategies to make grade-level, content-area
curriculum comprehensible to all students.
2
3. Language Objectives
We will accomplish this by:
Listening to and identifying effective strategies when
teaching a story.
Articulating how we would shelter instruction to ensure
that input is comprehensible.
Applying strategies in small groups and with partners.
Assessment: Identifying in teams ways we can shelter
instruction for our “students.”

the content is one of the strongest
indicators of how well they will
learn new information relative
to the content being
presented by
the teacher.
(Marzano, 2004)
7. Definition of Vocabulary
Vocabulary refers to the words we must know
to communicate effectively:
oral vocabulary
reading vocabulary.
Oral vocabulary refers to words that we use in
speaking or recognize in listening.
Reading vocabulary refers to words we
recognize or use in print.
( Reading First)
8. Building Background:
Vocabulary and Connection
Vocabulary knowledge correlates to comprehension.
It takes 12 meaningful interactions with a word to
create mastery.
Comprehension depends on 90-95% knowledge of
words in a text.
To overcome vocabulary deficit in CLD students, we
must explicitly teach it daily.
9. Incidental & Intentional
Vocabulary
No one single instructional strategy is sufficient for optimal
vocabulary learning.
Effective instruction includes opportunities for both incidental
word learning and intentional word teaching throughout all
grades.
Incidental:
Exposure to & interaction with increasingly complex and rich oral language
and by encountering lots of new words in text (own reading or being read
to).
Intentional:
Specific words are selected for explicit and in-depth instruction.
10. Cognate Activities
Put book pages on an overhead and point out cognates.
Have students work in pairs to find cognates in a text.
Create a cognate wall.
Create a cognate classroom dictionary.
Have students work together to find and then categorize cognates.
Same spelling-colonial
Predictable variation - civilization/civilizacion
Same root - sport/deporte
11. Quilt Review
As a group revisit your vocabulary quilt and add your definitions
for each term on your team quilt.
On a separate piece of paper, answer the following questions:
1. Discuss meaningful connection from your own background
knowledge/experience to help you remember the words as a
group.
2. How are you going to apply this knowledge in your future
classroom?
3. Why is it important to vocabulary development or to building
background?
4. In what way will knowing this information improve your
future practice with CLD students?
13. Three functions of memory…
Sensory Memory
Working Memory permanent Memory
13
14. Before the Lesson:
Sensory Memory
• Sensory memory deals with the temporary storage of data from
the senses.
• The Sensory memory serves as a (very) temporary repository
for this information from our senses.
• However, we cannot process all of the information from the
senses. Rather, we pick and choose.
(Marzano, 2004)
15. Activating Sensory Memory
Explicitly linking to background
knowledge
Explicitly linking to cultural
knowledge
Provide visual/sensory cues
15
17. Linking Language
Have students list descriptive words that support
your concept vocabulary.
Have students find cognates.
Link languages by drawing lines between native
language and English language to provide label
for already known words.
Have students write a predictive paragraph about
the topic.
18. Throughout the Lesson:
Working Memory
Working memory can receive data from sensory memory (where
it is held only briefly), from permanent memory (where it
resides permanently), or from both.
If processing goes well in working memory, information makes
it to permanent memory.
If processing does not go well, information does not make it to
permanent memory.
19. Vocabulary
Effective Instruction
Teachers
Use explicit instruction to teach key words and technical
vocabulary prior to reading.
Limit the number of new words taught at one time.
Provide multiple exposures to words across contexts.
Provide opportunities for students to discuss and use new words in
and out of class.
Students
Use words meanings in a variety of contexts.
Discuss the relationships between words.
Use strategies to figure out the meanings of new words.
22. Review & Assessment:
Permanent Memory
Permanent memory contains information that has been
stored in such a way that is available to us.
Permanent memory is the repository of our background
knowledge- academic and experiential.

25. Comprehensible Input
“Making the message
understandable to
students is referred
to as comprehensible
input.”

27. There is no such thing as an unmotivated learner.
There are, however, temporary unmotivated states
in which learners are either reinforced and supported
or neglected and labeled.
(Jensen, 2000)
27
28. If we want our
students to learn
what we are teaching,
we must be aware
of their states of mind
and navigate them.
28 (Jensen, 2000)
29. Navigating the States of Mind
Providing comprehensible input through
varying degrees of linguistically and
cognitively demanding tasks.
Varying group configurations.
Supporting the native language.
Actively monitoring teacher “state of mind.”

30. Visuals
Use of manipulatives, models, concrete objects, etc. to illustrate and demonstrate
and provide a visual link to key concepts and vocabulary.

31. Cooperative Learning
Students work collaboratively with other
students to achieve common goals.
Helps reduce language barriers and classroom
pressures on the affective filter.

As much as possible, develop terms in context
Consistent Use of Instructional Words
Use the same words each time you ask students to do a particular
thing
33
34. Hands-On
Use of hands-on activities and manipulatives to support
student comprehension by providing a way for students
to make meaningful connections to new learning.
– Create posters, models, etc.
– Engage students in activities reflecting key
concepts from the lesson (e.g., role play,
discussion , debates, etc.
– Use manipulatives to reinforce key concepts.
– Do a Reader’s Theater.

35. AH-HA! vs. HA-HA!
Remember, making connections
is not enough.
We still need to elaborate on them
make the right ones,
strengthen them,
and integrate them
into other learning.

Activities that include how to manipulate materials
mentally or physically to facilitate learning.
Metacognitive:
Used in planning for learning, self-monitoring, and
evaluating understanding.
Social/Affective:
Interacting with others for learning in ways that
support learning.

learner you are?
How might this affect your teaching?
In what ways will you apply this information in
the future?

areas. (Vogt, 2000)
42. What Have We Learned
From Research?
• Ability grouping: placing students into groups
based on their academic skills (ability).
• Traditional ability grouping has been unsuccessful
in meeting the academic and social needs of
students who are not in the top group.
• All students benefit from support and assistance
from individuals with more experience.
• Individual voices may not be heard during whole
class instruction. 42
43. The Five Steps to Setting Up
Interactive Learning Groups
Step 1: Revisit CLD/EFL student biographies.
Step 2: Determine academic purpose for grouping.
Step 3: Determine task & outcome to be completed by
group.
Step 4: Designate groups to reflect CLD/EFL student
biographies.
Step 5: Authentically assess work completed by the group.
43
45. Practice/Application
Provide hands-on materials and/or
manipulatives for students to practice using
new content knowledge.
Provide activities for students to apply content
and language knowledge in the classroom.
Provide activities that integrate all language
skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing).

DQHSI - Comp Input ELEM 4/6/06
DQHSI - Comp Input ELEM 4/6/06 A critical concept for second-language development is comprehensible input. Comprehensible Input means that students should be able to understand the essence of what is being said or presented to them. This does not mean that teachers must only use words students understand. Instruction can be incomprehensible even when students know all of the words. Students learn new language best when they receive input that is just a bit more difficult than they can easily understand.
