ESOL CST, Revision Strategy, Terms
Definition, 100% coverage. Rated A
passive voice - ✔✔subject received the action instead of performing it
monitoring - ✔✔learning strategy: Krashen hypothesizes that language instruction results in the
creation of a mental monitor through which the learner filters spoken and written output. The monitor
aids
learners in achieving accuracy, but may hinder the development of fluency. The ideal is a balance where
the student has opportunities for unrestricted fluency and for using the monitor to "edit" and develop
accuracy.
BICS-Basic Interpersonal
Communication Skills - ✔✔The skills involved in everyday communication - listening, speaking, carrying
on basic
conversation, understanding speakers and getting one's basic needs met.
CALP-Cognitive Academic
Language Proficiency - ✔✔The skills that are needed to succeed in the academic classroom, including
problem
solving, inferring, analyzing,
synthesizing, and predicting. They go beyond the BICS, demanding much greater competence in the
language.
Comprehensible Input: - ✔✔Students learn best when exposed to samples of
the target language that are at or just above the student's current level of acquisition of the language.
Teachers
can ensure that the language used in the classroom is comprehensible by
evaluating the students on the Stages of Language Acquisition.
Low Affective Filter: - ✔✔Students are best able to absorb and mentally process the language input they
receive
when they are in an environment where they are relaxed and their
anxiety level is low. The teacher can provide this by making the classroom a warm, supportive place
where students feel free to take risks with language.
register - ✔✔degree of formality
morphology - ✔✔branch of linguistics (internal structure of words) language's morphemes and other
linguistic units, such as root words, affixes, parts of speech, intonations and stresses, or implied context.
overgeneralization - ✔✔Example: treating irregular as a regular on (go--> goed)
communicative approach - ✔✔emphasizes learning to communicate: focus is on meaningful
communication not structure, use not usage. In this approach, students are given tasks to accomplish
using language, instead of studying the language.
context-reduced language - ✔✔no background knowledge given
Miscue Analysis - ✔✔reading assessment that allows teacher to evaluate deviations from actual text
during oral reading. Determines how a reader is decoding and processing printed words and using them
to construct meaning: strat to decode and comprehend text
Holistic Scoring - ✔✔teacher judges overall communicative effectiveness of students written work:
evaluate writers ability to communicate ideas rather than assess mechanical (grammar)
Steps towards reading for information - ✔✔1. ask specific questions to clarify and extend meaning of
texts: inferring, verifying meaning in texts
2. determining fact from opinion
3. determining relevance of information
kinestitic learner - ✔✔learns best when physically active using movement to reinforce memory and
comprehension
Sheltered approach to ELL instruction (SEP) - ✔✔used in content classes to provide additional EL
support: ELL acquire academic English as they learn academic content. Development of communicative
language skills is offered in tandem with SEP and is not a fundamental elements of this approach
Vygotsky - ✔✔Views language first as social communication, which gradually promotes both language
itself and cognition.
A person who begins to learn a second language after the onset of puberty... - ✔✔will likely find
language learning more difficult and depend more o repetition
Affective strategies (to lower affective filter) - ✔✔Lower your anxiety, take your emotional temperature
Social strategies - ✔✔Asking questions, cooperating with others, empathizing with others
Interlanguage - ✔✔A strategy used by 2nd language learners to compensate for lack of proficiency:
preserving some features of their first language (or L1), or overgeneralizing target language rules in
speaking or writing the target language and creating innovations
Natural Approach - ✔✔Krashen & Terrell: Students can improve vocal through meaningful
interaction/meaningful context
Willig & Lee's 4 developmental stages - ✔✔1) Pre-production stage
2) Early production stage
3) The speech emergence stage
4) The intermediate fluency stage
James Asher TPR (total physical response) - ✔✔introduces new language through a series of commands
to physically enact an event. The student responds to the
commands with action. Research on this strategy shows that more efficient
learning with fuller student involvement occurs when students actually
move than when they do not. For beginning students, an advantage of TPR is that students are not
required
to make oral responses until they have achieved and demonstrated full comprehension through physical
actions.
LEA - ✔✔Language Experience Approach: Encourages spoken responses from LEP students after they
are exposed to a variety of first-hand, sensory experiences.Helps develop rea
