¶ … connected with me in a very logical way. The point that Peregoy and Boyle (2013) make about how sheltered instruction puts "both subject matter and language" together I found to be completely sensible. Subjects and language should go together when teaching ELLs. The name for this practice -- sheltered instruction -- was also something I thought to be interesting: the idea that this kind of approach not only builds on foundations already poured (like all homes), but that it also provides a roof over the student's head that keeps out the confusion and turmoil that can sometimes rain down as a result of improper or inadequate instruction.
By helping students to make connections, this type of instruction provides them with a bigger picture experience so that they can see how the learning applies to their own life, how it builds upon what they have already learned. They get a sense of real progression and can feel confident that they are moving forward. At the same time, the teacher is able to provide enough support that the student does not feel overwhelmed.
This support can come by way of technology -- using digital media or Internet-based interactive exercises that can be exciting for students and give them motivation to dig in and develop their skills. Uniting various...
Sheltered instruction looks like it would work for everyone and I think it would be a very successful approach for my students in the future.
Literary Article Review
The journal article by Sireci and Faulkner-Bond (2015) focuses on the assessment of ELLs by emphasizing the importance of breaking the examinee population into subgroups, since not all examinees are truly at the same level. The study shows that these subgroups should have their own special assessment criteria since they are all coming from different places or levels of understanding and skill set. As the researchers state, "no test is perfectly suited for all students" and thus "it is important to consider indentifiable subgroups . . . when considering the fairness and appropriateness of educational tests" (Sireci, Faulkner-Bond, 2015, p. 215). The key concept of the article is that ELLs can be deprived of "valid interpretations" of assessments when they are all judged by a standardized assessment (Sireci, Faulkner-Bond, 2015, p.…

Economics Sources of Information for a Porters Five Forces Analysis on Kraft Foods To undertake a Porters Five Forces analysis it is necessary to identify potential sources of information that will give the required information. The Five Forces analysis will require an assessment of the five areas; degree of rivalry among competitors, threat of new entrants, bargaining power of suppliers, bargaining power of customers, and availability of substitutes.

Creative Writing Portfolio Over this course, I have learned a fair bit about analysis. I have looked at poetry, in my metaphor analysis, a visual analysis of the South African flag, and I conducted a discourse analysis of Emerson's "Self-Reliance." These steps taught me three key things. First, they taught me to look at things from different perspectives. Second, they taught me to examine the underlying arguments found in all works
In this instance then, the face and politeness phenomena become of crucial importance. Since the conversations in phone call centers are not conducted face-to-face, the most important aspect becomes the politeness (Stembrouck, 2006). This is vital for complete customer satisfaction and can be identified and corrected through discourse analyses. All in all, the employees at the call center have the ultimate purpose of transferring data to the customers in a
So, in those regards the curriculum is slowly catching up with the times. Personally, I would like to see additions such as a playing of the movie, "The Business of Being Born" at one of the sessions or as homework. The second way that the curriculum should change within the next three years is to begin allowing more nurses to become certified teachers. Currently, it is easier for a parent
