  1. What is ELD?

  2. English Language Development “is distinguished from other types of instruction, e.g., math, science, or social science, in that the content of ELD emphasizes the English language itself.” The content of an ELD classroom will contain: • Reading • Writing • Listening • Speaking • Grammar • Vocabulary (SEI Models of the Arizona English Language Learner Task Force, June 15, 2007)

  3. ELD is …… • NOTa math lesson • NOT a science lesson • NOT a social studies lesson • NOT optional in an SEI classroom

  4. ELD Components Phonology: Speech, sounds Pragmatics How you use language Morphology: Parts of words, verb tenses Semantics: Meaning of words or sentences Vocabulary Syntax: Grammar, sentence structure, language rules Lexicon: Collection of words you know

  5. Phonology • Studies the SOUND patterns of a specific language • Phonology describes the way sounds function within a given language or across languages • An important part of phonology is studying which sounds are distinctive units within a language - in English, for example, /r/ and /l/ are distinctive units of sound Beginning Sound Final Sound lock rock roll roar

  6. Phonology lessons will center on… • Hearing: physical demonstration. Discrimination exercises e.g., ship or sheep • Which vowel sounds occur in: “it”, “bit”, “eat”, “fit”, “feet”, “seat”, “sit” • Production. Physically making sounds • Expanded contexts

  7. Phonology lessons(cont.) • Students require steady practice and muscle training. • Pronunciation is a motor skill that needs practice. • Differences in sound systems have a phonological basis: they depend on variation in speech organ positions or breath control.

  8. Morphology • The study of meaningful units of language and how they are combined to form words • Parts of words; adding affixes to change base words • Verb tenses • Word families

  9. Syntax • The grammatical arrangement of words in sentences • Focuses on the form of language not meaning • The rules that govern the structure of sentences • Horizontal flow L  R • Sentences have an underlying structure that can be manipulated

  10. Syntactic Hierarchy (from smaller to larger units) Text Sentence (clause) A red apple fell out of a tree. Phrase a red apple Word apple Phoneme /ăp/ /ple/

  11. Lexicon • The collection of words you know • Lexicon organizes the mental vocabulary in a speaker's mind • Word list, dictionary, glossary Dolch list High frequency word list Fry Word List

  12. Semantics The study of meaning in a language Lexicon + Semantics = Vocabulary I like friendly dogs. love adore puppies canines pooches
