  10. What is sheltered instruction? • Brainstorm with a partner a definition of sheltered instruction. • Who? • What? • When? • Where? • Why? • How?

  11. Sheltered Instruction True/False Questions TRUE • Sheltered Instruction is used in sheltered content courses. • Sheltered Instruction is used in a variety of program models. • Sheltered Instruction cannot be used in classes that contain both ELLs and native English speakers. TRUE FALSE

  12. Sheltered Instruction True/False Questions cont. FALSE • Sheltered Instruction is the same as high quality instruction for native English speakers. • Language development classes should be separate from content classes for ELLs to learn best. • In Sheltered Instruction classes, teachers integrate ESL Standards. FALSE TRUE

  13. Content Teacher Language Teacher Teachers and the Integrated Approach Integration of Content Objectives with Language Objectives

  14. The Integrated Approach • Application of instructional methods which integrate language and content • Principles for developing or adapting instructional materials which integrate language and content • Identification of relationship between content and language skills • Strategies for assessment of students’ language skills as well as content area concepts and skills

  15. Distinction to note… • In content-based ESL classes, the instructor’s main goal is English language skill development and the secondary goal is teaching the students content concepts and vocabulary for the regular mainstream classroom. • In sheltered instruction, ELLS participate in specific content courses with grade-level objectives that are delivered through modified instruction to make the content more comprehensible to the students.

  16. SIOP • A means for making grade-level content comprehensible to English language learners. • Scientifically-based approach • Framework for collaboration between ESL and classroom teacher
