Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills (BICS) � Everyday language � Communicative � Universal across all native speakers
Key Features of Proficiency Levels � Beginners: Little or no ability… � Intermediate: Limited ability… � Advanced: Can handle grade-appropriate English with minimal support � Advanced high: Can handle gradeappropriate English

Three Principles to Improve Achievement for ELLs 1. Instruction in the primary language aids achievement. 2. Instruction must have clear goals and objectives for language and literacy development. 3. ELLs require instructional accommodations. (adapted from Goldenberg, 2006)
Making Input Comprehensible � Use authentic language � Simplify teacher talk � Use non-verbal cues. � Stress student involvement: hands-on activities. � Use manipulatives, realia, and visuals. � Create a low-stress, friendly environment. � Use prior content introduction in the primary language.
Variables Affecting Second Language Acquisition � What individual (inside the ELL) variables may affect how quickly and/or how successfully a student can acquire English? › › › Prior schooling/gaps in schooling Literacy in the primary language/CALP Affective Personality Motivation
Variables Affecting Second Language Acquisition � What context (outside the ELL) variables may affect how quickly and/or how successfully a student can acquire English? › › Teaching method Learning environment Materials Class dynamics
Effective Instruction for ELLs Requires an understanding of and is guided by a knowledge–base familiar with: � Second language acquisition � English � Key language proficiency standards components of reading
