Approaches and Methods for ESL
  1. Communicative - in this approach, students will develop language skills through communication and interaction
    1. Silent Way
      1. The teacher spends the most time talking; students repeat or signal for understanding.
        1. Thumbs up - thumbs down - this approach reminds me that the students sometimes respond based on what they see their peers do. It does not require much effort on their part.
      2. Natural Way
        1. The students L1 is welcomed. The students learn their L2 through interactions with their peers.
          1. This encounter can take place in small groups, at recess, or even at the lunch table. It can happen through basic conversation between the students.
        2. Suggestopedia
          1. The EL students are allowed to use their L1 for understanding, but there is little correction if they do make an error.
            1. Small groups are can easily be used in this approach. Students working together in groups have the opportunity to speak to each other without drawing a lot of attention to themselves. Although this is a great teaching strategy, it doesn't provide a lot of opportunity for the teacher to correct it.
          2. Sheltered Instruction
            1. Grade-level curriculum is modified. Students are provided with scaffolding and their learning is very involved.
              1. In my classroom, I used this approach during my SIOP lesson. I divided my students into groups based on their learning styles and language development. The students worked in groups using hands-on manipulates, like real life flowers, to learn about plants parts. Their were labels in English, and Spanish if needed. The students used pictures and drawings to show their understanding.
            2. Integrated Content-Based
              1. Content based instruction that focuses on the L2 development. Subjects are usually divided in units.
                1. This method provides opportunities for the students to work with a particular subject area using manipulates, visuals, and hands-on activities that will help the students understand the content area.
            3. Grammatical or Grammar-Based - this approach is teacher-centered and places emphasis on the correct form and structures of language.
              1. Grammar Translation
                1. Focuses on reading, writing, and grammar.
                  1. The use of journals is a way that I hold my students accountable for their writing. Along with that, the students are responsible for writing in a correct form.
                2. Direct
                  1. Forces EL students to use the L2
                    1. While this is not my favorite approach, the students do need to total emersion to learn an L2. Creating simple open-ended questions is a good way for EL students to use their L2.
                  2. Audiolingual
                    1. Focuses on correcting error through repetition and drill practice.
                      1. With DIBELS, we spend a lot of time focusing on what they did wrong. We do weekly drills and practices orally to get them ready for the next assessment.
                  3. Cognitive - this approach focuses on direct or explicit teaching and the use of learning strategies.
                    1. CALLA
                      1. Developmentally apporopriate with language instruction. Provides students with intentional focus on langauge development and is based on thier prior knowledge.
                        1. With my SIOP lesson, I began by having the students use their prior knowledge of flowers to participate in a picture sort. The lesson's directions were explicit and direct so that the students knew exactly what was expected of them.
