Applied Linguistics

Final Project

For the final project you will need to go to the Multicultural and ESOL web site and click on the link titled Best Practices.

Part A
Choose one of the five areas of Reading (Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Vocabulary, Comprehension, Fluency) from the Instructional Considerations for ELLs in the Five Areas of Reading and summarize the considerations that teachers must make for English language learners in this area.

Part B
Locate your grade appropriate Florida Standards for Language Arts and choose one standard (this can be any standard that will allow you to incorporate listening, speaking, reading, and writing practice). Think about assignments/activities that help students to master this standard. You may use activities/strategies suggested in the text, Instructional Considerations for ELLs in the Five Areas of Reading, and/or the Instructional Strategies Matrix also found on the Best Practices page.

Provide an overview (this does not need to be a full lesson plan) of how you would deliver a lesson(s) for this standard that would incorporate the four modalities of language.

Part C
Complete the SIOP Lesson Template to explain how you would differentiate instruction to meet the language needs for students at each level of English language proficiency (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced). This document is a writable PDF that you will be able to complete by typing directly into the form. The lesson plan must be original, not taken from any other source including BEEP. Save the file as last name_first initial_template.pdf.

Complete Part A and Part B in a single word-processed document.  Upload the document in the Week 8 Final Project Parts A & B section of Assignments. Upload the completed SIOP Lesson Plan in the Week 8 Final Project Part C section of Assignments.
