Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It's been six months, and I STILL can't get my English language learners to participate in class!" "How can I help my newcomers feel more comfortable around other students?" "Am I doing enough to help my English language learners succeed?" Have you had these thoughts? Take heart, you are not alone. As schools and districts swell with growing numbers of English language learners, and as administrators and teachers wrestle with federal guidelines for educating these students, many educators are faced with these same challenges and much more. To meet these challenges, it is imperative for educators to learn about and use the theories and teaching strategies that will help English language learners succeed in the classroom. In Getting Started with English Language Learners: How Educators Can Meet the Challenge, Judie Haynes provides a practical resource to help educators who are new to the field of English as a Second Language understand the needs of English language learners. From learning how students acquire a second language to differentiating instruction to exploring practical strategies for teaching newcomers, this book will help educators learn how to create effective learning environments for English language learners. Real-life scenarios from actual classrooms are presented throughout the book. The book also includes a brief overview of different types of ESL programs used in the United States and a helpful glossary of common ESL terminology. New teachers, veteran educators working with English language learners for the first time, and administrators can all use this book to increase their knowledge, improve their practice, and, most importantly, effectively educate and inspire English language learners.

Download or read book USING SCAFFOLDING TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVE VOCABULARY ACHIEVEMENT OF THE FIFTH GRADE PUPILS OF SD NEGERI 1 SEMBAWA BANYUASIN III written by ISTIQOMAH P. RATU BANGSAWAN and published by Barometer Mediatama Publishing. This book was released on 2020-04-16 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an experimental study which is aimed to see whether or not there was a significant difference in vocabulary achievement between the pupils who were taught by using scaffolding technique and those who were taught by using conventional technique. For this purpose, a non equivalent control group design was used. The population was the fifth grade pupils at SD Negeri 1 Sembawa Banyuasin III in the academic year of 2009/2010. The total number of population was 47 pupils. The sample involved in this study was all pupils in the population. The pupils were grouped into two: the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group consisted of 24 pupils participated in the 10-week intervention of scaffolding technique while the control group consisted of 23 pupils received typical classroom instruction without intervention of scaffolding technique. To collect the data, test and questionnaire were used. To assess pupil’s vocabulary knowledge, the writer proceeded the pre-test at the beginning of the research and followed the posttest at the end of the research. The vocabulary achievement was analyzed by examining vocabulary gains that participants made from the pre-test to the post-test. To find out whether there was a statistically significant difference on pupils’vocabulary learning achievement before and after the treatment, the t-analysis was used. The result of the study indicated that there was a significant difference between the pupils Who were taught by using scaffolding technique and those who were taught by using common technique. It was found that the t-obtained value was 4.515 at significant value of 0.05 for two tailed test and degree of freedom 45, t-table value was 1.6794. Since the value of t-obtained is higher than that of ttable, the null hypothesis was rejected and the alternative hypothesis was accepted. Based on the result of the questionnaire, it was found that the total score of positive response was 225 of all 24 pupils. This means that 93. 75% pupils who participated in 10- week intervention of scaffolding technique had positive response to all of the statements in the questionnaire. In other words, the pupils agreed that the use of scaffolding technique in vocabulary learning had positive effects on their vocabulary learning.
Download or read book Vocabulary Development written by Timothy Rasinski and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2019-04-18 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge of word meanings is critical to success in reading. A reader cannot fully understand a text in which the meaning to a significant number of words is unknown. Vocabulary knowledge has long been correlated with proficiency in reading. Yet, national surveys of student vocabulary knowledge have demonstrated that student growth in vocabulary has been stagnant at best. This volume offers new insights into vocabulary knowledge and vocabulary teaching. Articles range from a presentation of theories of vocabulary that guide instruction to innovative methods and approaches for teaching vocabulary. Special emphasis is placed on teaching academic and disciplinary vocabulary that is critical to success in content area learning. Our hope for this volume is that it may spark a renewed interest in research into vocabulary and vocabulary instruction and move toward making vocabulary instruction an even more integral part of all literacy and disciplinary instruction.

Download or read book Paul s Concept of Justification written by Richard Kingsley Moore and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Greek family of words characterizing the doctrine of "justification by faith" (as it is known in English) is most prominent in the writings of the Apostle Paul. It was this doctrine that lay at the heart of the sixteenth-century Reformation; Martin Luther and his followers considered it to be at the very center of the gospel. Protestants came to understand "justification" differently from the Catholic Church they had left. Instead of the Catholic "realist" view, in which God makes a sinner righteous, they came to a "forensic" understanding, by which God, as judge, declares a sinner righteous. During the nineteenth century a third, "relational" view began to emerge: it viewed "justification" as God's gift of a right relationship to a sinner. This monograph examines Paul's concept from three perspectives: the New Testament data; the way the doctrine has developed historically; and how the doctrine has been expressed in English translations of the Scriptures. The author concludes that it is the relational view that most accurately depicts Paul's concept of "justification."
