Download or read book Effects of Familiarity with the American Culture on Reading Comprehension Among Middle School English Language Learners written by Luma A. Aziz Alobeidy and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study aimed to investigate the effects of familiarity with the American culture on reading comprehension among middle school English language learners (ELL) in a North Dakota school. Because ELL students are in the process of learning about the American culture at the same time as they learn the English language, this study investigated whether familiarity with the American culture could impact their reading comprehension. Random selection techniques were used to select three equal groups of 6th-8th graders academically leveled: beginning, intermediate, or advanced. Students were 11-14 year-old males and females from Somalia, Iraq, China, Congo, Liberia, Rwanda, and Nepal. Groups of ten were randomly assigned to texts containing culturally-related content developed and written at appropriate reading levels. The study indicated a need for cultural study for ELL students in the curriculum. Other participants included five ELL teachers to explore whether content on American culture was explicitly taught through their lessons. Teachers indicated they did not incorporate culture adequately into their curriculum. Data collection procedures included surveys, pre-tests, and post-tests for students familiar or unfamiliar with the American culture. All the tests were formatted in a standard manner.

This book was released on 2020-11-13 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literacy and popular culture are intrinsically linked as forms of communication, entertainment, and education. Students are motivated to engage with popular culture through a myriad of mediums for a variety of purposes. Utilizing popular culture to bridge literacy concepts across content areas in K-12 settings offers a level playing field across student groups and grade levels. As concepts around traditional literacy education evolve and become more culturally responsive, the connections between popular culture and disciplinary literacy must be explored. Disciplinary Literacy Connections to Popular Culture in K-12 Settings is an essential publication that explores a conceptual framework around pedagogical connections to popular culture. While highlighting a broad range of topics including academic creativity, interdisciplinary storytelling, and skill development, this book is ideally designed for educators, curriculum developers, instructional designers, administrative officials, policymakers, researchers, academicians, and students.
Download or read book How People Learn II written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2018-09-27 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many reasons to be curious about the way people learn, and the past several decades have seen an explosion of research that has important implications for individual learning, schooling, workforce training, and policy. In 2000, How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience, and School: Expanded Edition was published and its influence has been wide and deep. The report summarized insights on the nature of learning in school-aged children; described principles for the design of effective learning environments; and provided examples of how that could be implemented in the classroom. Since then, researchers have continued to investigate the nature of learning and have generated new findings related to the neurological processes involved in learning, individual and cultural variability related to learning, and educational technologies. In addition to expanding scientific understanding of the mechanisms of learning and how the brain adapts throughout the lifespan, there have been important discoveries about influences on learning, particularly sociocultural factors and the structure of learning environments. How People Learn II: Learners, Contexts, and Cultures provides a much-needed update incorporating insights gained from this research over the past decade. The book expands on the foundation laid out in the 2000 report and takes an in-depth look at the constellation of influences that affect individual learning. How People Learn II will become an indispensable resource to understand learning throughout the lifespan for educators of students and adults.
