Study Notes
Summarization Techniques
- 3-2-1 Summary: Students identify three significant elements, two important elements, and one critical piece of information, reflecting different levels of Bloom's Taxonomy: recall, comprehension, and analysis.
- ABC Summary: An alphabetical summarization method where students list learned content by starting with each letter; for example, naming animals like "Alligators are reptiles" and "Bears are mammals."
Academic Language and Vocabulary
- Academic Word List (AWL): Contains 570 word families common across academic fields, intentionally excluding the first 2000 most frequent words to focus on specialized vocabulary.
- Academic Words: Essential words used in academic contexts, typically not derived from conversation, and vital for understanding subjects, especially in sciences and social studies.
Cultural Concepts
- Acculturation: A process where individuals adopt aspects of a new culture while maintaining elements of their native culture, allowing for bicultural participation.
- Assimilation: The process of exchanging one's native culture for a dominant culture, often resulting in the loss of the original cultural identity.
Language Acquisition and Learning Techniques
- Acquisition: Gaining language skills through natural communication rather than formal instruction.
- Activator: Any activity or strategy designed to recall students' existing knowledge prior to learning new content.
- Active Engagement: Learners actively participate and enjoy the learning process, enhancing their language learning experiences.
Teaching Approaches
- Activity-based Communicative Teaching and Learning (The ABC Model): A research-supported teaching framework emphasizing nine principles that promote effective learning through active participation.
- Activity-based Teaching and Learning: Focuses on the contributions and active roles of learners within the ABC Model to facilitate language acquisition.
Learning Characteristics
- Affective Filter: A mental barrier influenced by motivation and self-esteem that can either hinder or ease language interaction and comprehension.
- Analytical Learner: Learners who prefer structured, individual tasks and sequential learning processes.
Reading and Communication Strategies
- Anticipation Guide: A pre-reading activity where students respond to questions about text content before and after reading, allowing them to evaluate their understanding.
- BICS (Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills): Everyday language used in informal social contexts, emphasizing context-embedded communication.
Educational Models
- Bilingual Education: A teaching model utilizing two languages in the classroom for instruction, which varies in form, including transitional and two-way approaches.
- Bio Poem: A poetic framework that allows students to express personal traits by filling in blanks in partially completed sentences, fostering creative writing skills.
Reading Development
- Bottom-up Approaches: Strategies focusing on foundational reading skills, such as phonemic awareness, decoding, vocabulary, and comprehension, building literacy in a structured way.
Additional Teaching Approaches
- CALLA (Cognitive Academic Language Learning Approach): A method integrating academic language development with content learning strategies to support bilingual learners.
