Vol. 4. No. 2 R-7 November 1999 Return to Table of Contents Return to Main Page Sheltered Content Instruction: Teaching English-Language Learners with Diverse Abilities Jana Echevarria and Anne Graves (1998) Boston: Allyn and Bacon Pp. xiv + 188 ISBN 0-205-16874-4 (paper) US $28.00 Have you ever gotten a frantic call from a content or special education teacher wanting to know, quickly please, how to teach ESL? Or have you returned the favor by asking special education colleagues for help when confronted with an ESL student having learning difficulties? In fact, this scenario is increasingly common as the population in our classrooms diversifies to include native speakers, English as a Second Language (ESL) students, and special needs students. At the same time, according to Nancy Cloud (1990), "there is a paucity of TESOL programs which provide crossover training in special education, or Special Education programs that encourage specialization in TESOL" (p. 127). For these reasons, finding Sheltered Content Instruction: Teaching English-Language Learners with Diverse Abilities was a welcome discovery. At last, a single text that addresses teaching students who are both English language learners and need special education adaptations! Though billed as a text to prepare teachers to "deliver content area instruction to English-language learners with diverse abilities using a sheltered instruction approach" (p. xi), sheltered instruction is the primary subject of only one complete chapter. The text actually presents a concise overview of the theory and practice of teaching second language learners while also providing rationale and strategies for teaching students with special needs. In so doing, it answers many of the basic questions that teachers ask about ESL and special education.

Use Cooperative Learning Who Are They? Adjusting to a new language and culture is a challenging and difficult process that takes several years. The more you know about your ESL students and their backgrounds, the more you will be able to help them. Some important questions are: What country do they come from? What language(s) do they and their families speak? Are they immigrants or refugees? What was life like in their native country? What was their previous schooling experience? What is their level of literacy in their native language? What are some of the cultural aspects of their culture that may impact their experience in your class (taboos, sex roles, gestures, kinesthetics, etc.)?

Return to List of Readings CHAPTER 16 SUCCESS FOR ALL TEACHING STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS The Human Need for Success I remember going to my box in late September of my first year of teaching. Mixed in with the administrative notices and catalogs was a note from a special ed student in my Basic English class. It was neatly folded into a two-inch square. I will never forget it: "Mr. Birk, I think I’m dum. Can you help me with that?" It was signed, "Your student, Jon." It was a huge admission that reminded me of how I felt when I landed in Tunisia to serve in the Peace Corps with my shiny new college degree and no Arabic. I knew things, knew I was smart (in my own language), knew I could do things (if they were the things I knew how to do). But the culture of the situation made everything feel wrong to me. I remember how angry I felt with all my ideas and feelings bottled up inside me. We have a lot of kids in our schools today especially boys, that feel this way They feel this way for very different reasons. Some of the students in our classes came from other countries as recently as yesterday They are like I was when I first arrived in Tunisia. And because I had great teachers—I actually had to live with them, surrounded by Arabic twenty-four hours a day!—I learned to think and move between the worlds of Arabic and English so well that I began to take French lessons (from a wonderful woman who began each lesson by making us espresso which we drank in the little cottage out back of her house—ahh, but that’s a different story!). Other students in our mainstream English classes have been here long enough to be in transitional classes" that are designed to support these English language learners in the "regular" English classes. Still other students may have been born here, but at home they speak other languages and so have what some call "second language interference" errors in their English or speak what others would call nonstandard English.

Welcome Letter (English) Welcome Letter (Spanish Mission Statement ESL Curriculum and Philosophy ... Web Resources MISSION STATEMENT The primary goal of T/E's ESL program is to increase the proficiency levels of second language students in the skill areas of listening, speaking, reading, and writing so that they may acquire the academic language necessary to function comfortably in an American classroom. Through the ESL program the teachers also encourage the students' awareness of American customs and culture and, working with the principal, the guidance counselor, other specialists and aides, act as a liaison between school and home. Recognizing the diversity of T/E students, ESL teachers believe that it is important to foster their students' participation in American society while preserving the individual young person's language and culture. Back to Top ESL CURRICULUM AND PHILOSOPHY The Tredyffrin/Easttown School District’s ESL curriculum is based on sound theory using the best practices in second language acquisition strategies. The foundation of the language arts curriculum is based on the Houghton Mifflin reading series that has been adopted by the district as the primary reading program for the elementary school program. We have chosen Houghton Mifflin’s Handbook for English Language Learners as the series that will provide our ELL’s the skills they will need once they enter the mainstream program.

56. Questions & Answers For Teachers No. 266 Pullout lessons need to focus on the language that the student will listen to and The students with special needs may be non-English speaking or ELLs. http://www.educationalquestions.com/qa266.htm

Which one is better, Pull-out or inclusion? ANSWER: I do not know if the comparison explicitly stated in your question is a true comparison. It might be better to analyze each of these instructional strategies separately. In a pull-out program for ESL, for example, English language learners (ELLs) are removed from the “regular” class (in which they receive their daily academic instruction from a teacher who, probably, speaks ONLY English) so that they can receive small-group instruction in English Language Development (ELD) or ESL for a limited amount of time each day somewhere between 30 to 50 minutes. The pull-out students then return to their “regular” classroom and continue to “learn” the content areas from the English-ONLY teacher. There may be other negative effects from a pull-out program. For example, the students who are taken out of the classroom miss part of the instructional program offered by the “regular” teacher. If this part of the instructional program that the students miss during their pull-out time is essential to understanding the academic /content area lesson taught by the “regular” teacher in the “regular” class, then these students are being provided a wonderful opportunity to learn English

ESL/EFL Web Sites We Would Like to See A page where ESL Web users can let Web developers know what they would like to see. Last Submission: September 10. Web Site Users Is there something that you would like to see on the ESL/EFL Web that does not seem to exist? If so, submit your idea(s) to this list. Someone who wants to develop a Web site, may develop such a site. Web Site Developers Do you want to develop an ESL web site? You can always imitate existing sites and perhaps even do a better job at what they are doing. However, it may be more beneficial to the ESL/EFL Web community, if you develop something that has not yet been done. Tip: Web sites that focus on one thing seem to be more successful than sites that try to cover many different areas. This is especially true for sites run by only one or two people. Focus on one thing, do it well and you will get many visitors. For more tips, see Guidelines for Designing a Good Web Site for ESL Students The newest additions are at the top of the page.

What can these goals be? - Finding the best possible ways to guide and advise students while they are accessing the web. - Being visible whenever you want to communicate with others. - Creating a class electronic bank that can be used to show and praise the progress made over the year. - Gathering resources really adapted to the diverse levels and possibilities of our students.
