The SIOP Model: practice/application Laura Nailor & Morgan Owen
Practice & application • Content Objectives: • Identify a variety of ways for students to enhance learning through hands-on practice. • Create application activities that extend the learning in new ways and relate to language or content objectives.
Practice & application • Language Objectives: • Design activities that integrate different language skills as students practice new content knowledge. • Discuss the importance of linking practice and application activities to specific lesson objectives.
Practice & application • Just like riding a bike… • Training wheels • Talking about experience • Listening to others describe the experience • Observing others • Help from others • Independent practice
Practice & application • Practice helps master skills • Reading • Writing • Listening • Speaking • Proficiency depends on opportunities for comprehensible input and targeted output
Practice & application • Carefully choose activities in lesson • Activities must support students’ progress • Must target objectives • Differentiation

Kindergarten money activity part 1 • While we are passing out materials discuss the following question with your partner: • Can you remember the first time when you were able to purchase something with your own money?
SIOP feature 21 • Activities to apply content & language knowledge • Discussing and “doing” make concepts concrete • Involvement in relevant & meaningful application
SIOP feature 21 • What about errors? • Level of development • L1 • Questions to consider: • Does the error impair meaning? • Are others making the same/similar mistakes? • Is a mini-lesson necessary?
Kindergarten money activity part 2 • With a partner… • Take turns rolling the money dice • Distinguish the coin on the dice • Place the dice in the corresponding tray • Question and discuss decisions and other options • We will know you are finished when the coins are all used.
SIOP feature 22 • Activities integrate all language skills • Reading, writing, listening & speaking • Read what we write • Talk about what we read • Listen to others talk about they read

Kindergarten money activity part 3 • Answer the writing prompt individually. • Discuss with your partner once you are finished.
SIOP feature 22 • “…although all identified language objectives in a lesson need to be practiced & applied as the lesson advances, not all language skills that are practiced need to be tied to an objective…” • P.143
Discussion Questions • What adjustments & techniques can a teacher use to provide ELs with successful experiences while they read, write, listen, & speak about new information? • What materials could you use in your classroom to meet all language skills? • Think back to a lesson you have given or been a part of. What could have been done differently to ensure meaning for all learners?
Conclusion • Integrate 4 language components • Practice & application are essential for mastery • Patience with errors • Enhance with hands-on activities • Not all skills are linked to an objective
