Community College ESL/ELL students

by Jem

Jan 1, 2012

I've been supporting ESL students in our community college's Resource Room - as best I can. Almost 20% of our student population are ESL/ELL. Is anybody else in this situation?

Most of the ESL students - regardless of age and they do vary in age - speak conversational English but conversational English is not by any means able to get them ...See More

Ann Hi Natalie! Public speaking is a critical part of a teacher's job. First of all, you must interview for a job in order to get it. You must be able to express yourself well, communicate your ideas in short, easily understandable points. Do not ramble or wonder off topic. Even though an interview is in a question/answer format, the answers are quite ...See More

We have been using WIDA for several years.

by pizwit

Jan 25, 2012

I LOVE WIDA. It is a great diagnostic test on the students. We just started with our students that were already in the program and gave the W-APT for any new students that came in. In the Spring we administer the ACCESS. I have found it to be a difficult test for the students BUT it does test not only language efficiency but also content knowledge....See More

massesl I am more interested at this point in the WIDA standards than the ACCESS. My district has an ELL curriculum, but it's based on the old MAss ESL standards, which are being replaed by the WIDA standards. I am wondering if it the curriculum will just have to be tweaked to fit WIDA or entirely rewritten. Also, with WIDA, do they tell you which content ...See More

Age/Grade placement

by legal issues

Feb 14, 2012

While going through birthdates for a standardized test, I noticed that a number of ELL students are not placed in the correct grade for their age. I asked around, and discovered that most of these are parent requests.

Can a parent legally request that their 15-year old be placed in the 5th grade? Can anyone cite laws regarding this situati...See More

Teaching adverbs

by Reynoldsm292

Feb 25, 2012

Hello,

I am just starting out as an ESL teacher and I am creating a lesson plan to teach adverbs to intermediate ESL students. I would like to use a short story to teach the adverbs or possibly a short reading comprehension through a content area (social studies, science, ELA ...etc). Does anyone have any ideas for texts that I could use?...See More
