Download or read book Using Understanding by Design in the Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Classroom written by Amy J. Heineke and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2018-07-11 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can today's teachers, whose classrooms are more culturally and linguistically diverse than ever before, ensure that their students achieve at high levels? How can they design units and lessons that support English learners in language development and content learning—simultaneously? Authors Amy Heineke and Jay McTighe provide the answers by adding a lens on language to the widely used Understanding by Design® framework (UbD® framework) for curriculum design, which emphasizes teaching for understanding, not rote memorization. Readers will learn the components of the UbD framework; the fundamentals of language and language development; how to use diversity as a valuable resource for instruction by gathering information about students’ background knowledge from home, community, and school; how to design units and lessons that integrate language development with content learning in the form of essential knowledge and skills; and how to assess in ways that enable language learners to reveal their academic knowledge. Student profiles, real-life classroom scenarios, and sample units and lessons provide compelling examples of how teachers in all grade levels and content areas use the UbD framework in their culturally and linguistically diverse classrooms. Combining these practical examples with findings from an extensive research base, the authors deliver a useful and authoritative guide for reaching the overarching goal: ensuring that all students have equitable access to high-quality curriculum and instruction.

Download or read book Integrating TPACK and CALL in English Language Teaching written by Alotumi, Mohialdeen and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2023-08-25 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching English, or any other language, in the 21st century requires teachers to be competent in using computer-assisted language learning (CALL) to alleviate learning of subject matter and assess methods of instruction in different contexts. To be CALL competent, English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers should have acquired the seven subdomains of technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK) regarding their subject matter before going into their teaching practice. As the learning environment evolves, technology plays a crucial role, so EFL teachers need to be well-prepared to deal with it. Therefore, English language teacher education (ELTE) should bear the onus of acquainting student teachers with all the necessary knowledge domains connecting content, pedagogy, and technology. Integrating TPACK and CALL in English Language Teaching presents the EFL context of the world and examines the underpinnings of ELTE and its connection to technology. It emphasizes that current EFL student teachers in the ELTE programs across the world should be empowered with TPACK applicable to their subject matter to integrate CALL effectively into prospective instruction. Besides foregrounding current challenges and exploring germane research in the world, the book provides an insightful examination of the field of CALL. Covering topics such as English language teacher education (ELTE), computer-assisted language learning (CALL), and EFL TPACK, this premier reference source is ideal for professionals, researchers, policymakers, and executives concerned with implementing technology integration in EFL teacher education programs.
