Entry Years Enhancement
(EYE) 2
ESL Endorsement Class
This training is for teachers in their second year of the Entry Year´s Enhancement (EYE) program. Educators interact with growing numbers of language minority students and must be able to promote content and language learning. This requires a sound understanding of second language acquisition. This course explores the concepts of Communication, Pattern, and Variability in second language acquisition, and their defining principles: input, interaction, stages of development, errors/feedback, types of proficiencies, and types of performances. This second language acquisition framework is presented with research-based teaching practices for diversity, as developed by the Center for Research in Education, Diversity & Excellence (CREDE). CREDE has articulated five Standards for Effective Pedagogy as a way to attend to language minority students´ development in teachers´ everyday teaching practices.
- Establishes Communication (input and interaction), Pattern (stages of development and errors/feedback), and Variability (types of proficiencies and types of performances) as a framework for understanding the SLA processes.
- Prepares teachers to use student work in second language learning to guide them in planning for and assessing instruction.
- Identifies teacher work for supporting SLA through planning for variety in teaching and assessing, attending to individual differences, and focusing on language development.
- Presents the Standards for Effective Pedagogy: Working Together, Language and Literacy Development, Contextualization, Cognitive Challenge, and Instructional Conversation.
