Scaffolding
11. What is Scaffolding?What is Scaffolding?
Scaffolding is an instructional
technique whereby the teacher
models the desired learning strategy
or task, then gradually shifts
responsibility to the students.
12. What is its purpose?What is its purpose?
Scaffolding essentially means doing some of the
work for the student who isn't quite ready to
accomplish a task independently. Like the
supports that construction workers use on
buildings, scaffolding is intended to be
temporary. It is there to aid the completion of a
task and it is eventually removed.
14. M.A.K. Halliday (1993) says:
You can neither teach content
without language nor teach
language without content. Both,
Language & Content go together.
15. Language is not a domain of human
knowledge (except in the special
context of linguistics, where it becomes
an object of scientific study); language
is the essential condition of knowing,
the process by which experience
becomes knowledge. (Halliday, 1993,
p.94)
16. Teachers should be aware of the
power of language in the
development of what students learn.
“Learning language” and “learning
through language” are
simultaneous. (Halliday, 1993)
17. 06/04/16
Language is a system which relates what is
being talked about (content) and the means
used to talk about it (expression). Linguistic
content is inseparable from linguistic
expression. In subject matter learning we
overlook the role of language as a medium of
learning and in language learning we overlook
the fact that content is being communicated.
Mohan (1986)

DevelomentDeveloment
English Language Development (ELD) is an
instructional model designed to systematically
develop the English language proficiency of
English learners. ELD instruction emphasizes the
development of all four language skills: listening,
speaking, reading and writing.
ELD is defined as instruction to develop
knowledge of English language skills and
content-area vocabulary (academic English)
through the medium of academic content and
subject matter.

Systematic ELD
A Focused Approach for English Learner Instruction
A coherent approach for developing proficiency in English is
essential to any plan for increasing the academic achievement of
English learners. This must include explicit language support for
literacy and content instruction taught in English, as well as a
plan for providing instruction in English as its own subject of
study.
24. CBI - Content Based InstructionCBI - Content Based Instruction
Content based instruction (CBI) is a
teaching method that emphasizes
learning about something rather
than learning about language.
Nevertheless, CBI is an effective
method of combining language and
content learning.
25. CBI is "...the integration of particular content with language
teaching aims...the concurrent teaching of academic subject
matter and second language skills" (Brinton et al., 1989, p. 2).
CBI approaches "...view the target language largely as the
vehicle through which subject matter content is learned rather
than as the immediate object of study" (Brinton et al., 1989, p.
5).
CBI is aimed at 'the development of use-oriented second and
foreign language skills' and is 'distinguished by the concurrent
learning of a specific content and related language use skills'
(Wesche, 1993).
CBI is "...an approach to language instruction that integrates
the presentation of topics or tasks from subject matter classes
(e.g., math, social studies) within the context of teaching a
second or foreign language" (Crandall & Tucker, 1990, p. 187).

28. The SIOP ModelThe SIOP Model
The Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP)
Its main goal is to make content material
more comprehensible to English Language
Learners. The model was developed by
Jana
Echevarria, Mary Ellen Vogt and Deborah J.
Short.
The SIOP Model includes the following
eight components:
29. Lesson Preparation
* Clearly defined content objectives for students
* Clearly defined language objectives for students
* Content concepts appropriate for age and educational
background
* Supplementary materials used to a high degree,
making the lesson clear and meaningful (e.g., graphs,
models, visuals)
* Adaptation of content (e.g., text, assignment) to all
levels of student proficiency
* Meaningful activities that integrate lesson concepts
(e.g., surveys, letter writing, simulations, constructing
models) with language practice opportunities for
reading, writing, listening, and/or speaking
30. Building Background
1. Concepts should be directly linked to students’
background experience. This experience can be
personal, cultural or academic.
2. Links should be explicitly made between past
learning and new concepts.
3. Key vocabulary is emphasized. New vocabulary
is presented in context. The number of
vocabulary items is limited.
31. Comprehensible Input
1. Use speech that is appropriate for students'
language proficiency.
2. Make the explanation of the task clear using
step-by-step manner with visuals.
3. Use of a variety of techniques to make content
concepts clear. Teachers need to focus attention
selectively on the most important information.
Introduce new learning in context. Help students
learn strategies such as predicting, summarizing.
32. Strategies
1. Provide ample opportunities for students to use learning
strategies. Learning strategies should be taught through
explicit instruction. You want students to develop
independence in self-monitoring.
2. Consistent use of scaffolding techniques throughout the
lesson. Introduce a new concept using a lot of
scaffolding and decrease support as time goes on.
Restate a student's response or use think-alouds
3. Use of a variety of question types, including those that
promote higher level thinking skills.
33. Interaction
Provide students with:
1. frequent opportunities for interactions about lesson
concepts which encourage higher level thinking skills.
2. grouping which supports language and content
objectives. Cooperative groups, buddies, pairs, large and
small groups
3. ample wait time for responses
4. opportunities for clarification in native language, if
possible.
34. Practice and Application
Lessons should include:
1. hands-on materials or manipulatives for student
practice.
2. activities for students to apply content and
language knowledge in the classroom.
3. activities that integrate all language skills
:listening, speaking, reading and writing.
35. Lesson Delivery
1. Content and Language objectives supported by
lesson delivery.
3. Students engaged 90% to 100% of the period.
4. Pacing of the lesson appropriate to students’
ability level.
36. Review and Assessment
* Comprehensive review of key vocabulary
* Comprehensive review of key content concepts
* Regular feedback to students on their output
* Assessment of student comprehension and
learning of all lesson objectives (e.g., spot
checking, group response) throughout the lesson
37. The SIOP Model follows Krashen's idea that second
language acquisition is enhanced by comprehensible
input (Krashen, 1982; 1985), which is a key
pedagogical technique in content-based instruction;
however, comprehensible input alone is not enough
—students need form-focused content instruction
(an explicit focus on relevant and contextually
appropriate language forms to support content
learning) (Swain, 1985)
The SIOP Institute.
38. S.D.A.I.E. - Specially DesignedS.D.A.I.E. - Specially Designed
Academic Instruction In EnglishAcademic Instruction In English
S.D.A.I.E. or Sheltered English as it often still
referred to in various parts of the United States
was originally established as an accepted
transitional step for students learning English as
their second language. It allows them to move
forward with academic courses such as
mathematics and science while at the same time
learning English through the contextual clues
provided by the course of study.
40. What is CLIL?What is CLIL?
C - Content
L – Language (FL)
I - Integrated
L – Learning
T - Teaching
41. The main question:
How can we integrate ...
Content: Academic Content
Language: Academic English
In learning and teaching academic
subjects?
42. A CLIL lesson is not a language lesson neither is it
a subject lesson transmitted in a foreign language.
According to the 4Cs curriculum (Coyle 1999), a
successful CLIL lesson should combine elements of
the following:
Content - Progression in knowledge, skills and
understanding related to specific elements of a
defined curriculum
Communication - Using language to learn whilst
learning to use language
Cognition - Developing thinking skills which link
concept formation (abstract and concrete),
understanding and language
Culture - Exposure to alternative perspectives and
shared understandings, which deepen awareness of
otherness and self.

David MarshDavid Marsh
Every Teacher is a Language Teacher
Prácticas en Educación Bilingüe/Plurilingüe nº1
CLIL is one key which is available to those teachers
who want to embrace change, and it is here on our
doorstep now. In CLIL every teacher is indeed a
language teacher; Some teachers teach language,
and others alternative subjects, but they each use an
integrated approach which ensures that content,
language, and thinking skills objectives are interwoven
into the teaching and learning process. This is the core
success of language across the curriculum.
45. Lorenza Lara and D.W. Moore
(2009) consider a priority helping
teachers connect language, literacy,
and content during subject matter
instruction. Teachers must integrate
literacy instruction into the content
domains.
46. We still treat language learning as separate from
acquiring discipline-based knowledge.
By envisioning an integrated approach to
instruction, we will benefit all students. In fact,
explicitly attending to the linguistic features of
content-area instruction has the potential to
benefit any student whose "home language," is
markedly different from standard academic
English.
Lara L. & Moore, D.W. (2009)
47. Teachers are either fully qualified
language teachers or fully qualified
content subject teachers.
So the language/content subject balance
mentioned above is very difficult to
achieve through
one person, except by providing
appropriate in-service training by team
teaching.
48. What model of instruction
can we use in order to
enhance Academic
Literacy in our students?
49. How can Language & Content be
balanced?

(ALI)
50. What's Academic Language?
Academic language is the language used in
instruction, textbooks and exams. Academic
language differs in structure and vocabulary from
language used in daily social interactions.
BICS & CALP
Cummins, J. (1979)
Academic language is the set of words, grammar, and
organizational strategies used to describe complex
ideas, higher-order thinking processes, and abstract
concepts.
51. Why is academic language so
important?
• Students who master academic language are more
likely to:
- be successful in academic and professional
settings
• Students who do not learn academic language
may:
– struggle academically
– be at a higher risk of dropping out of school
52. Literacy is broadly viewed as more than just an individual's
ability to read. Literacy is an individual's ability to read,
write, speak in English, compute, and solve problems at
levels of proficiency necessary to function at school, on
the job, in the family, and in society.
The concept of literacy has evolved from the ability of an
individual to read and/or write to include multiple
activities (reading, writing, listening, speaking, viewing,
symbolizing, etc.) with multiple associated texts (print,
digital, video, symbolic, images, diagrams, graphs,
conversations, etc.).
What's Literacy?
53. Teaching Disciplinary Literacy to
Adolescents: Rethinking Content-Area Literacy
Timothy Shanahan & Cynthia Shanahan
University of Illinois at Chicago
Harvard Educational Review Vol. 78 No. 1 Spring 2008
54. Academic Literacy
Academic Literacy is the ability to use reading and
writing as tools for learning subject matter.
[Reading] is essential in every content subject, such
as history, geography, arithmetic, science, and
literature. In fact, rapid progress in these subjects
depends in a large degree on the ability of pupils to
read independently and intelligently. It follows that
good teaching must provide for the improvement
and refinement of the reading attitudes, habits, and
skills that are needed in all school activities
involving reading.
(W. S. Gray, 1925, 1-2)
55. Balanced Literacy
The Balanced Literacy approach is characterized
by explicit skill instruction and the use of
authentic texts. Through various modalities, the
teacher implements a well-planned
comprehensive literacy program that reflects a
gradual release of control, whereby centricity and
responsibility is gradually shifted from the
teacher to the students. Assessment-based
planning is at the core of this model.
56. Academic literacy builds students'
academic content knowledge and their
reading, writing, and thinking skills at
the same time.
Teachers must integrate literacy
instruction into the content domains.
Literacy & Content
57. Literacy instruction that centers on reading and
writing to learn content focuses on goal-centered
reading, content comprehension, and application
of content knowledge.
Literacy activities provide students with practice as
they develop proficiencies necessary to make
meaning with content-area texts. These activities
help students read print materials, learn important
content vocabulary, and write about what they
are learning.
Academic Literacy Instruction
58. Reading & Writing are the core features of
literacy
Teachers should include regular and explicit
instruction in reading and writing to
support students' content learning and
literacy development.
Academic Literacy Instruction
(continue)
59. Development of academic literacy is complex
–need to use students’ everyday literacy
practices to explicitly teach them to navigate
across texts & contexts
Instruction should explicitly focus on
strategies/practices for critically reading
across texts
Instruction should take up students’
sociocultural knowledge to help make sense
of academic texts
Academic Literacy Instruction
(continue)
60. By infusing literacy instruction with content
instruction, content-area teachers support
students in gaining necessary literacy
proficiencies while deepening content learning.
Furthermore, teachers are responsible for literacy
instruction that also promotes content-area
learning.
Draper argues that content-area literacy instruction
should promote mastery of the intellectual
discourse within a particular discipline.

Academic Literacy
66. LICI (Language in Content Instruction,
229850-CP-1-2006-1-FI-LINGUA-L2PP)
is a 3-year Lingua 2 project, part of the
Socrates programme, carried out between
the years 2006 and 2009.
The project is coordinated by Heini-Marja
Järvinen from University of Turku,
Finland.
67. The aim of the LICI project and its products is the
language of learning and instruction in a CLIL
environment. The leading principle of the LICI
project is that by enhancing language in content
teaching, the dual focus of learning both language
and content is realized optimally.
The theoretical basis for linking content with
language is found in general and content-specific
thinking skills and strategies.
68. WIDA is a consortium of states dedicated to the design and
implementation of high standards and equitable educational
opportunities for English language learners.
WIDA educational products and services fall into three
main categories: standards and assessments, professional
development for educators, and research.
WIDA Consortium

71. The objective of CORI in the classroom is to
increase the amount of engaged reading.
Engaged reading refers to reading strategically
(using background knowledge, questioning,
organizing graphically, summarizing, and other
strategies), with motivational goals of learning
from text, interacting with other students to learn,
experiencing hands-on activities, and gaining
conceptual understanding of science through
reading.

76. Implement
The implement phase includes the
testing of prototypes (with
targeted audience), putting the
product in full production, and
training learners and instructors
on how to use the product.
77. Evaluate
The evaluation phase consists of two parts:
formative and summative.
Formative evaluation is present in each
stage.
Summative evaluation consists of tests for
criterion-related referenced items and
providing opportunities for feedback from
the users.
78. Literacy Matters offers you "the best of the best on
the Web"—web sites containing background
information, research-based instructional strategies,
lesson plans, sample activities, guidelines, book
lists, and resources to strengthen your students'
literacy skills, and thus, strengthen their content
learning.
Literacy Matters is housed at Education Development Center, Inc. (EDC)

80. The National Institute for Literacy, a federal
agency, provides leadership on literacy issues,
including the improvement of reading instruction for
children, youth, and adults.
Since its creation in 1991, the National Institute for
Literacy has served as a catalyst for improving
opportunities for adults, youth, and children to
thrive in a progressively literate world.

The Strategic Instruction Model®, or SIM®, has evolved. In
essence, SIM is about promoting effective teaching and learning of
critical content in schools. SIM strives to help teachers make
decisions about what is of greatest importance, what we can teach
students to help them to learn, and how to teach them well.
They advocate trying to teach a little less content, but teaching it
better.

Robbins, who works with Anna Uhl Chamot on developing CALLA
materials and workshops.
The Cognitive Academic Language Learning Approach CALLA is
designed for limited English proficient students who are being
prepared to participate in mainstream content-area instruction. CALLA
provides transitional instruction for upper elementary and secondary
students at intermediate and advanced ESL levels. This approach
furthers academic language development in English through content-
area instruction in science, mathematics, and social studies. In
CALLA, students are taught to use learning strategies derived from a
cognitive model of learning to assist their comprehension and
retention of both language skills and concepts in the content areas.
