Development (ELD): reading, writing, listening, and speaking. In this
assignment, you will research the four domains and find effective
instructional strategies utilized to facilitate ELD. Write a paper that
includes the following:
· §Identify at least five strategies
· §A narrative describing each strategy
· §Assign each strategy a domain and justify why it is most
effective in that domain
· §Summarize when each strategy should be used: early on as an
English language learner, later as a long-

What’s Next for English Language Learners? Using information from
Chapter 2 and the “A Guide to No Child Left Behind” article, identify
the mandates of the No Child Left Behind Act that affect English
language learners (ELLs). Compare the drop-out rate of students in the
United States and students in the state in which you live. How do you
think the waiver will affect the current drop-out rate in the United States
and your state of residence? How will any changes to the No Child Left
Behind Act affect ELLs?

Long-Term English Language Learners. Chapter 1 of our text defines
long-term English learners (LTELs) as students “who have been in
United States schools for more than six years without reaching sufficient
English proficiency to be reclassified for mainstream classes” (Syrja,
2011, p. 15). Using information introduced in Chapter 1 and expounded
upon in Chapter 3 of our text, address the following:
1. Describe the characteristics of an LTEL.
2. Provide suggestions on how teachers can address the challenges of
LTELs to move them to a proficient
level of English learning.
3. Share your opinion on how much accountability should be placed
on administrators, teachers, students,

4. and parents respectively.
Refer to and properly cite the sources from which you are basing your
position.

Assessment and Placement of English Language Learners. After reading
Chapters 7 and 9, write a two- to three-page Reflection Paper addressing
the following items:

language learners in appropriate educational programming.
2. There are several challenges that emerge as we assess English
language learners. Describe two of those challenges.
3. Identify and defend solutions to the challenges you described.

5. Support your description with research-based evidence and cite your

and 5 and the Linquanti article, “Fostering Academic Success for
English Language Learners: What Do We Know?”, select at least four
bilingual programs and describe the type of student that would benefit

ELL 240 Week 2 DQ 2 Levels of Language
Acquisition
For more classes visit
www.snaptutorial.com
Levels of Language Acquisition. After reading Chapters 5 and 6, you
should be more familiar with the five stages of oral English language
acquisition as they have been identified and discussed in detail. While
the order of stages is sequential, the amount of time students spend at
each stage can range from a few weeks (silent period) to several years
(intermediate fluency). Watch and analyze the required video segment,
Stages of Language Development, along with Table 6.1 in your text. As
a beginning teacher, you and your peers might have difficulty
identifying the “next step” you need to take in order to move a student to
the next level of English proficiency. What are the challenges faced by
teachers in moving children from one level to the next? Discuss the
synergizing of teacher- student responsibilities in moving through the
levels of language acquisition. As students progress through the five
stages, what are some of the things teachers can do to assist students in
this process? What are some of the things students should do to increase
their own language mastery and inform teachers of some of the needs
they may have?

ELL 240 Week 3 Assignment Cultural Diversity
Presentation
For more classes visit
www.snaptutorial.com
Cultural Diversity Presentation. Chapters 11 and 12 of the text illustrate
the need for schools and teachers to connect with families of English
language learners. To facilitate this collaborative spirit, educators must
encourage parents of all cultures to become part of the school culture.
Think about what you would like parents to know as they partner with
you in educating their child. What could parents share about their culture
that would help the classroom teacher be more effective?
Design a series of three activities for parents and students at your school
that honor and respect cultural diversity. Your plan should include the
following:
1. Explain the purpose for each activity
2. Describe the target group you are addressing
3. Explain the activities

8. 4. Describe the materials/resources needed to execute each activity
Requirements for this assignment include:
· §A demonstration of prior knowledge; the student should
be able to build from previous discussion board
topics or assignments to help frame this assignment.
· §Original problem-solving skills will be presented via
research.
· §APA guidelines will be applied, and standard grammar
will be observed.
· §The page length will range from four to six pages.
· §At least three outside scholarly sources are needed for
this paper.

9. Comprehensible Input, Scaffolding, and Affective Filter. Pretend you are
a new student at a school. You have been in the United States for a very
short amount of time, and no one at your new school speaks your
language. After reading Chapters 10 and 15 and watching the required
video presentation, Teaching Foreign Languages: Make Your Students
Feel at Ease, use what you have learned from those resources to answer
the following questions:
1. What would you need from the teacher to make input
comprehensible?
2. What could the teacher do to scaffold lessons for you?
3. How can the teacher effectively lower the affective filter for you
while still creating positive anxiety?

10. Community Connections. Consider where you live and the cultural
diversity that is present in that community. Who could you invite to your
campus to provide positive cultural role models for your students? If
your community is not culturally diverse, do you feel the need to “bring
in” culturally diverse people and opinions? Why/why not? Do you feel it
is necessary to involve different community entities in your school so
that cultural diversity is appreciated?

Science Lesson. Read the lesson and answer the following questions:

appropriate?

11. 2. How many opportunities did students have to
listen/speak/read/write?
3. Do you believe any of these domains should have more focus, less
focus, or should they all be given equal attention?
4. How does having students actively using the four domains help to
increase their knowledge of the content?

Communication
For more classes visit
www.snaptutorial.com
Cross-Cultural Communication. In any social setting, people of different
cultures need to communicate respectfully. For teachers, this challenge
may be even greater as we confront our own biases and prejudices while
helping students understand and manage their own. After reading the
article titled “Six Fundamental Patterns of Cultural Differences,” discuss
three of the six points that you think would help teachers communicate
effectively with English language learners. Give examples of how you
would implement them in a social setting. Reflect on areas you may
need to challenge yourself or expand your thinking.
