GCU Assignment 2 Details w/Clarification - ELL Classroom Observation

Hi Class,

The following assignment details have been copy/pasted from the Tasks>Assignment>ELL Classroom Observation assignment details page in Loudcloud. I have provided clarification to help you identify key areas of focus so you can concentrate on that content as you complete the assignment. As usual, my comments are in a different color to help you identify them quickly.

Details:

For this assignment, observe, and assess at least one lesson(the mentor does NOT need to be teaching a lesson using SIOP, rather, you are demonstrating your understanding of SIOP by identifying the various elements of SIOP in the lesson) involving ELLs using the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) checklist in Sheltered Content Instruction: Teaching English Learners with Diverse Abilities attached in the following post.

Submit a copy of the checklist (be sure to support your scores with a few comments to justify your selection in the comment areas provided) with a 250-word reflection on this experience. Address the following questions in your reflection:

1. Were the students aware of the class language and content objectives?
2. How did the teacher instruct the content and language objectives?
3. What type of student group configurations were used? How many different types of student configurations were used?
4. How did the teacher accommodate for different ELP levels?

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected. A pre-formatted template has been provided with the checklist and room for your essay with all headings included. PLEASE USE IT as it makes evaluation much more efficient when I only have to open 1 file per student.

This assignment uses a grading rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. However, keep in mind that the inclusion of the provided checklist and template will generate a high TII score... this is to be expected due to the high amount of similar text that is included. FOCUS on the content YOU add to the template. Remember to change the settings when you review your report to include quoted material to ensure you receive an accurate report of the amount of similar material.

• Absolutely no more than 20% of your assignment can be from other sources.
• Highlighted material that comes from use of the template or list of references will NOT count in the overall percentage.
• You are responsible for checking this.
• All instructors are required to review TII reports and require revision if it does not meet the guidelines. Typically, a 20% reassignment penalty will apply, and further action may be necessary such as a Code of Conduct report for academic dishonesty... even in cases when you are given the opportunity to revise and resubmit.
• Please keep this in mind as this is GCU policy to protect its graduates and online programs from scrutiny.

Document the hours and locations that you spend in the field on your electronic Clinical Field Experience Verification Form. Submit the Clinical Field Experience Verification Form with the last assignment by the assignment due date. Directions for submitting can be found on the College of Education site in the Student Success Center. your completed verification form are attached in the next post. Submit with an assignment when ALL hours are complete, or by the last day of the course with your final assignment... whichever comes first.

Week 4 Assignment 2 Tips/Resources - ELL Classroom Observation PLEASE READ!

Hi Class,

You have 2 assignments due this week... this particular post is specifically for the ELL Classroom Observation Using SIOP. If you need the resources for the Building Vocabulary essay, please exit this post and open the Week 4 Assignment 1 Tips/Resources - Building Vocabulary... post.

For the observation you are to:

• Observe a lesson taught by your mentor looking specifically for implementation of SIOP components. The time spent observing the lesson contributes to your required practicum hours.
• If you have not been able to secure a suitable practicum setting, you may use the video at this link -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4rWZrgyCbs to complete the assignment; however, YOU MAY NOT count any time toward your required practicum hours. Only time spent with your mentor can be used toward your practicum hours.
• Fill out the Checklist portion of the template during the observation providing 2-3 statements in each comment area to justify the score selected.
• Complete the essay portion using the headings and format provided below the checklist. APA format is NOT required. Turnitin IS required.

Remember to change the settings when you review your report to include quoted material to ensure you receive an accurate report of the amount of similar material. Absolutely no more than 20% of your assignment can be from other sources. However, that said, any highlighted material that comes from use of the template, creating the chart of groups, or list of references will NOT count in the overall percentage. You are responsible for checking this. All instructors are required to review TII reports and require revision if it does not meet the guidelines. Typically, a 20% reassignment penalty will apply, and further action such as a Code of Conduct report for academic dishonesty... even in cases when you are given the opportunity to revise and resubmit.

Language Learning Strategies

Hi Class,

According to Oxford (1990, p18-21), there are six mains types of language learning strategies. These can be divided into three categories which are below. As you look at these three categories and two components under each, how could these be utilized to teach academic vocabulary?

Asking questions

1. Asking for clarification or verification
2. Asking for correction

Co-operating with others

1. Co-operating with peers
2. Co-operating with proficient users of the new language

Empathizing with others

1. Developing cultural understanding
2. Becoming aware of others' thoughts and feelings (Oxford, 1990a, p. 21)

Oxford, R. (1990a). Language Learning Strategies: What Every Teacher Should Know. New York: Newbury House.

Below is a visual that includes ideas to integrate language learning strategies into your classroom, how would integrate these?
