Book Synopsis Becoming Literate in English After Proposition 227 by : Margaret Kay Guy
Download or read book Becoming Literate in English After Proposition 227 written by Margaret Kay Guy and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The delivery of literacy instruction to English language learners (ELLs) in California changed drastically with the passage of Proposition 227 in 1998. This study examined three third grade students, whose first language is Spanish and who had been in a transitional bilingual program for three years. With the enactment of Proposition 227, students were enrolled in a Structured English Immersion (SEI) class. Subjects were selected by the classroom teacher and the researcher based on the students' apparent readiness to succeed in an academic setting in their second language. The three subjects were an 8 year old girl who was probably not be ready to be transitioned to English, an 8 year old boy who was possibly ready, and a girl who became 9 during the study who was measured as literate in her first language and predicted to be academically successful in her second language. Literacy of students was assessed in five areas: oral language, writing, reading in English and Spanish, classroom participation, selfperceptions as bilingual readers and writers. Findings support previous research that not all ELLs become ready to succeed academically at the same rate. Assessment of students' literacy development in multiple ways is critical to designing appropriate educational programs.

Book Synopsis Improving Adult Literacy Instruction by : National Research Council
Download or read book Improving Adult Literacy Instruction written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-04-26 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A high level of literacy in both print and digital media is required for negotiating most aspects of 21st-century life, including supporting a family, education, health, civic participation, and competitiveness in the global economy. Yet, more than 90 million U.S. adults lack adequate literacy. Furthermore, only 38 percent of U.S. 12th graders are at or above proficient in reading. Improving Adult Literacy Instruction synthesizes the research on literacy and learning to improve literacy instruction in the United States and to recommend a more systemic approach to research, practice, and policy. The book focuses on individuals ages 16 and older who are not in K-12 education. It identifies factors that affect literacy development in adolescence and adulthood in general, and examines their implications for strengthening literacy instruction for this population. It also discusses technologies for learning that can assist with multiple aspects of teaching, assessment,and accommodations for learning. There is inadequate knowledge about effective instructional practices and a need for better assessment and ongoing monitoring of adult students' proficiencies, weaknesses, instructional environments, and progress, which might guide instructional planning. Improving Adult Literacy Instruction recommends a program of research and innovation to validate, identify the boundaries of, and extend current knowledge to improve instruction for adults and adolescents outside school. The book is a valuable resource for curriculum developers, federal agencies such as the Department of Education, administrators, educators, and funding agencies.

Book Synopsis The Inner World of the Immigrant Child by : Cristina Igoa

Download or read book The Literacy Gaps written by Ivannia Soto-Hinman and published by Corwin Press. This book was released on 2009-08-11 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The book makes a contribution to the education of English language learners. It provides practical instructional suggestions for teachers of both ELLs and SELs that are informed by a deep understanding of theories of second language and second dialect acquisition and the development of reading and writing proficiencies." —Guadalupe Valdés, Professor of Education Stanford University "The concepts of gaps and bridges are clearly articulated up front and provide a well-structured theme that unites the various parts of the text. The use of this structure provides a logical and coherent mechanism for providing a complete picture of the problem—the literacy gap between ELs and native speakers—and a means for addressing this problem." —Kristina Anstrom, Senior Research Scientist The George Washington University Center for Equity and Excellence in Education Build bridges of support so English language learners can learn alongside their peers! English language learners (ELLs) and standard English learners (SELs) face multiple gaps as they strive to achieve, so educators need to take a holistic, comprehensive approach to bridge those gaps and meet the needs of ELLs and SELs in the classroom. Based on an original, well-researched framework, this much-needed resource provides practical strategies for supporting learning and success for ELLs. The authors provide strategies, examples, and classroom tools to address: The gap between students and texts: covering word recognition, background knowledge, comprehension, and academic language development The gap between students and teachers: including socio-cultural differences between teachers and students, and teacher perceptions and expectations The gap between students and their peers: discussing language proficiency differences, grouping strategies, and grade-level and schoolwide programs The Literacy Gaps helps educators give ELLs the skills they need to close the most important gap of all: the achievement gap.
