The 4Cs curriculum guidance uses the principles of content, communication, cognition, and culture to plan CLIL units. The 3As lesson planning tool involves analyzing content language, adding language for learning, and applying language through learning. The matrix audit tool evaluates tasks and materials on dimensions of cognitive and linguistic demands.
These tools are meant to guide CLIL planning, teaching, and reflection, not as rigid formulas. Their goal is to support professional development and ensure content and language are well integrated in CLIL classNonie lesaux power point

This document summarizes a presentation on early literacy given by Nonie Lesaux. It discusses:
1. The demographics and challenges facing children in Arizona, including high poverty rates and linguistic diversity.
2. Key aspects of reading development, including both skills-based competencies like phonological awareness, and knowledge-based competencies like vocabulary and background knowledge. It notes a gap between these two areas.
3. Strategies for improving early literacy, including comprehensive reform focusing on curriculum, assessment, adult capacity building, and family partnerships centered around language and learning. A systemic, capacity-building approach is advocated over short-term or structural changes.P 20 SWLAC Colorado Presentation

This document discusses building an effective Chinese language program with vertical articulation between K-12 and university levels. It notes that many high school students who study Chinese lack usable language skills and must relearn topics when entering university programs. The document advocates for teaching Chinese through cultural contexts and performance-based learning to develop students' communicative competence. It also stresses the importance of teaching behavioral culture and creating opportunities for students to use Chinese autonomously. The goal is to help students adapt their communication styles to interact appropriately in Chinese.Language Curriculum Design

The document summarizes the Mandarin Chinese Distance Learning program offered through the East Central Ohio Educational Service Center. The program uses interactive video conferencing to deliver Mandarin instruction to rural high school students. It began in 2008 with one class and has since expanded to include 22 high schools. The program aims to increase access to foreign language education and share costs across districts. It has been successful but faces challenges coordinating schedules across different school systems. The program plans to continue the shared teacher model to expand access to Mandarin instruction for more rural students.Proyecto profesor Armando D鱈az

The document makes the case for teaching Mandarin Chinese in the Houston Independent School District. It summarizes research showing that starting world language education early (K-5) is common practice in most industrialized countries. Only a small number of US states require world language education, and even fewer require it at the elementary level. Studies also show that learning a second language improves academic performance in other subjects and helps close achievement gaps. Furthermore, foreign language ability is important for national interests like security, economic competitiveness, and an informed citizenry. As China is projected to be a major future trade partner, learning Mandarin could position Houston students and the city well economically.SIOP Intro

The document discusses the SIOP (Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol) model for teaching English language learners. It begins by summarizing the Lau v Nichols Supreme Court decision that students who do not understand English are denied meaningful education. It then provides objectives for a professional development session on SIOP that include identifying factors affecting second language acquisition and understanding how SIOP supports language and content objectives. The document explains key aspects of SIOP like preparation, building background, and review/assessment. It concludes by having teachers discuss benefits of SIOP and identify its most important components for their classrooms.Hu Professional Developmentfor Chinese Language Teachers In New England

This document outlines a training course to help English Language Learner (ESL) students succeed in community college. The 15-week course will focus on developing skills in six key modules: attitude, time management, task precision, problem solving, student networking, and family support. Target students are "Dreamers" who were brought to the US as children. Over the course, students will practice speaking, listening, reading, writing, vocabulary, and using educational technology. Instructional strategies include group work, presentations, journals, and software practice. The goal is to help ESL students navigate college and feel supported in their educational goals. Student progress will be evaluated through quizzes, assignments, presentations, and computer activities.Rosenbusch Dahlberg Lueth Lien Chiang Elementary School Chinese Programs
