  1. Maximizing Comprehension Focusing on the Language

  2. Objectives Content Objective: Participants will be able to develop and implement Language Objectives. Language Objectives: Listening: Listen to group discussion Reading/Speaking: Participants will identify and discuss the three components of a Language Objective. Writing: Participants will write Language Objectives with a partner using a graphic organizer.

  3. Purposes for Creating Language Objectives • To provide access to the content by building a student’s understanding of the academic language. • To provide a focus for how a student communicates knowledge of the content through writing and speaking. • To provide a focus of how and what students understand through listening and reading.

  4. Three Parts of a Language Objective ContentStem (ALCOS Objective) Support visual aids, graphic organizers, and videos Language Function Example: explain, describe, compare

  5. Language Function A Language Function describes what you expect the students to be able to do and how the students will communicate what they know (verb).

  6. Language Functions

  7. Content Stem Thecontent stem is what is being covered in class based on the Alabama Course of Study

  8. Support The tools/strategies you will provide to assist students in accessing the language and knowledge required for the content.

  9. Make A List of Supports • You Will • Brainstorm and write a list of supports you can use in any lesson • Get a partner and discuss your supports • Share your supports with whole group

  10. Support WIDA Consortium (pg. RG 21)

  11. Supports Sensory Supports related to specific content areas.

  12. Putting It All Together Three Parts of a Language Objective Content Stem Support Language Function

  13. Content Stem Examples from ALCoS Grade 6 Mathematics (2003) 8.) Determine the distance between two points on a scale drawing or a map using proportional reasoning. Grade 3 Science (2005) 6.) Identify structures and functions of the muscular and skeletal systems of the human body. Grade 11 English Language Arts (2007) 4.) Analyze twentieth and twenty-first century American literary selections for plot structure, cultural significance, and use of propaganda.

  14. Applying What You Know Language Objectives • Sequence plots of adventures using visual support and share with a peer. • Identify Earth’s layers using visual support and graphic organizers. • Describe sequence of events related to characters and settings in illustrated folktales using graphic organizers. • Classify scientific tools or instruments with pictures and labels from oral directions (e.g., “Telescopes and sundials go with the sky.”)

  15. Your Turn

  16. Reviewing Your Lesson Plans • With a partner, take turns reviewing each others lesson plans. • Work together to write language objectives for one lesson plan. • Now work together to write language objectives for the second lesson plan. • Be prepared to tell us why you selected your language objectives. • Share in whole group.

  17. What Is Next? • Before you leave, schedule a date and time for us to walkthrough your classroom and observe your lesson incorporating language objectives

  18. What to Expect • Read the Walkthrough Language Objectives Module Form • Ask Questions in whole group
