What is an ELL?
English Language Learner Limited English ProficientA student aged 3-21 not proficient in spoken and/or written English, as determined by an English proficiency assessment.
ESL/ESOL = English as a Second Language/English to Speakers of Other Languages - the SERVICE or SUBJECT.
![Page 3: Developing Vocabulary in the ESOL Classroom 8 th Annual World Language Symposium Alice C. Sagehorn, PhD Pittsburg State University](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649da95503460f94a962b4/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Basic Suggestions for Working Effectively with ELLs
Be warm and welcoming.
Allow students to use native language.
Assign buddies or peer tutors.
Encourage students to share native language.
Focus attention on key vocabulary.
Keep talking to the student.
Arrange for intensive help.
![Page 4: Developing Vocabulary in the ESOL Classroom 8 th Annual World Language Symposium Alice C. Sagehorn, PhD Pittsburg State University](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649da95503460f94a962b4/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Cultural Concerns
English is not a phonetically consistent language. It may be difficult for ELLs to differentiate sound variations in the English Language, especially if those sounds do not exist in their own language.
Knowledge about the ELLs native language can be helpful when teaching how to read.
Always teach the sounds of the new language within a meaningful context.
Write what you are saying. This helps students see the connections between the oral and written word.
Label the entire room.
Support reading in the native language at home.
Research indicates that readers are better able to understand and remember stories that reflect their cultural background.

When is the ELL Ready to Read English?
When the student:
1.Hears and discriminates among the sounds in English. (Be sure the student hears the English sound BEFORE you build a sound-symbol correspondence)
2.Has rhyming elements
3.Knows the alphabet
4.Has learned the sound/symbol correspondence
![Page 6: Developing Vocabulary in the ESOL Classroom 8 th Annual World Language Symposium Alice C. Sagehorn, PhD Pittsburg State University](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649da95503460f94a962b4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
When is the ELL Ready to Read English?
When the student:
5. Possesses a listening and speaking vocabulary sufficient for the kind of reading material to be introduced (Native speakers 2500 words before reading is introduced.)
6. Recognizes common language symbols (singular and plural; past, present and future; word derivatives – bake, bakes, bakery; prefixes, suffixes, and base words
7. Understands simple directions and commands (Go from concrete to abstract)

Total Physical Response - TPR
Understanding of spoken language must be developed in advance of speaking
Understanding and retention are best achieved through movement of the body in response to commands
The imperative form of the language is a powerful took because it can manipulate students’ behavior and guide understanding.
Students should never be forced to speak before they are reading. As the target language is internalized speaking will emerge naturally.

Vocabulary Development
Every lesson should have a vocabulary objective.
Research:
Development of vocabulary is integral to literacy skills.
Limited Vocabulary knowledge was the principal factor in the school failure of disadvantaged students.
Once decoding skills are mastered, insufficient knowledge of word meaning is the chief remaining barrier to school success.
Students need to learn 88,500 words for the grade 3-8 content areas.
![Page 13: Developing Vocabulary in the ESOL Classroom 8 th Annual World Language Symposium Alice C. Sagehorn, PhD Pittsburg State University](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649da95503460f94a962b4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

10 Questions
Teacher chooses an object in the room.
Students create questions that include descriptive vocabulary and require a yes or no answer.
Students have 10 opportunities to guess the object.
![Page 18: Developing Vocabulary in the ESOL Classroom 8 th Annual World Language Symposium Alice C. Sagehorn, PhD Pittsburg State University](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649da95503460f94a962b4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Compare and Contrast
Classifying is a fundamental cognitive process that refers to sorting objects, events, and phenomena into clusters according to their common characteristics. (Campbell, Campbell and Dickenson, 2004).Students compare two objects and complete activity sheet or Venn Diagram using descriptive vocabulary - size, color, shape
![Page 19: Developing Vocabulary in the ESOL Classroom 8 th Annual World Language Symposium Alice C. Sagehorn, PhD Pittsburg State University](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649da95503460f94a962b4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Who Am I?
On the back of each student is the name of a person, object, or place. (Students should not be able to see their own sign.)Students walk around and ask yes or no questions of each other to determine the identity of the person, object or place.When the student identifies their sign, they can sit down.
![Page 20: Developing Vocabulary in the ESOL Classroom 8 th Annual World Language Symposium Alice C. Sagehorn, PhD Pittsburg State University](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649da95503460f94a962b4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Word Wall and Word Sort
Word Walls (Tompkins, 1997) are alphabetical lists of words created in the classroom for the purpose of vocabulary development. Walls can be formatted in a variety of ways - High Frequency Words, Literature Words, Synonyms and Antonyms, etc.
Students are given vocabulary words cards. Students walk around the room to match cards synonyms, antonyms,
Students use cards as card game - Go Fish!

![Page 26: Developing Vocabulary in the ESOL Classroom 8 th Annual World Language Symposium Alice C. Sagehorn, PhD Pittsburg State University](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649da95503460f94a962b4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Ear-to-Ear Reading
The teacher makes a reading selection and asks the students to read for specific knowledge, facts, or information. Students are seated in pairs so they are ear-to-ear. Using their six-inch voices they alternate reading a paragraph until the selection has been read. The teacher asks questions to check for comprehension. Students can TPS the answer before responding.
![Page 27: Developing Vocabulary in the ESOL Classroom 8 th Annual World Language Symposium Alice C. Sagehorn, PhD Pittsburg State University](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649da95503460f94a962b4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Guess the Fib
Each student writes a list of three statements about the reading assignment or information that is being reviewed. Two of the statements are true and one is a fib. Taking turns, one student at a time reads their three statements as if they are all true. The other students on the team can talk to each other about which statement they think is the fib, but they do have to come to consensus. When they have decided which statement is not true they tell their guess to the author. If the author has fooled the teammates, the author gives the reason why the statement is false. If the students have identified the fib, they change the statement to true. The activity continues with the next student reading his/her three statements and the other students identifying the fib.

Inside Outside Circle
A small group of students in the class form a circle,
shoulder to shoulder, facing outward. A second group
of students face the inner circle. The inner circle
students show their card to the student facing them
from the outer circle. The student in the outer circle
answers the question or give the correct form of the
verb, etc. When the teacher gives the signal students in
the outer circle move one person to the right and
repeat the process.

People Hunt
This is a matching activity. The teacherprepares two sets of cards. One set has a question or part of a sentence. The other has the answer or end of sentence. Divide the classin two groups and hand out cards. StudentsMove around the room and silently find their partner. When all matches have been made the student reads his/her card aloud making the match.
