Q2. What kinds of learning loss do your ELLs’ experience during the summer? #ELLCHAT

KarenNemethEdM - Moderator May 2 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A2 PreK & K children lose a lot of vocab & preliteracy skills over long summer break-Their brains don’t keep what they don’t use #ELLCHAT

easkelton May 2 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A2: Oral fluency and confidence #ellchat

judiehaynes - Moderator May 2 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A2) I found that ELLs lost their English communication skills because they went back to their home countries for several months. #ELLCHAT

IMD918 May 2 @ 9:12 PM EDT

I am Irene from NJ I teach writing to ELL adults at a community college #ELLCHAT

A2 my daughter is teacher in England w/ many ELLs, but their summer is only 6 weeks. Better for students, I think #ELLCHAT

Q2: most students loss their communication skills and they feel more shy speaking openly #ellchat

Oral fluency, confidence, and syntax.. #ellchat

HSeslteacher May 2 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2: Reading fluency, English vocab, oral fluency (pronunciation) tend to slide over summer. #ELLChat

Sara_n_deepity May 2 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2) I agree that academic vocabulary is often forgotten during summer. #ELLCHAT

educ8orSmith May 2 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2 I notice more of a slide in productive skills. Producing English is hard when practice opportunities can be scarce. #ELLCHAT

judiehaynes - Moderator May 2 @ 9:15 PM EDT

I agree! #ELLCHAT https://t.co/vVBP0pUy4J

educ8orSmith May 2 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2 I notice more of a slide in productive skills. Producing English is hard when practice opportunities can be scarce. #ELLCHAT

HSeslteacher May 2 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@judiehaynes Or sometimes it's mainly speaking home language & not enough practice with English. #ELLChat

KarenNemethEdM - Moderator May 2 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@HSeslteacher a2 This is a tricky. Research shows that speaking more L1 doesn’t hurt L2… but lack of practice w/ L2 does hurt #ELLchat

judiehaynes - Moderator May 2 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2) I think the problem is that Ss are not speaking any English. Do you have link for study? #ELLCHAT https://t.co/SUO8NFHXCs

KarenNemethEdM - Moderator May 2 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@HSeslteacher a2 This is a tricky. Research shows that speaking more L1 doesn’t hurt L2… but lack of practice w/ L2 does hurt #ELLchat

HSeslteacher May 2 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@KarenNemethEdM Yes. I don't want to discourage L1 use at home. Just aware that not using English much over summer isn't good. #ELLChat

judiehaynes - Moderator May 2 @ 9:18 PM EDT

Q3) What strategies do you use to prevent ELLs from losing what they have learned during the school year? #ELLCHAT

maggieessig May 2 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2 My old dist had a summer program for ELs to keep Ss exposed to Eng over the summer. Activities were heavily based in oral lang #ellchat

educ8orSmith May 2 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@judiehaynes ss can gain access 2 Eng TV easier & often r able 2 'practice' receptive skills more often thn productive skills #ellchat #bics

A4) Low-income students lose more than 2 months in reading achievement during the summer, while high-income Ss see reading gains. #ELLCHAT

gardnerkb1 May 2 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@Paridad_US yes, great idea! #ellchat

A4 Giving Ps a list of low cost/prep academic activities to keep learning going thru the summer-also a great parent meeting topic! #ellchat

Q4: share info abt summer programs @ school +libraries w/parents. See if school can provide transpo. to library. #ellchat

Sara_n_deepity May 2 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A3) @gardnerkb1 Great idea! Perhaps also add Growth mindset videos with an open question to respond to. #ELLCHAT

A5 Purpose and follow-through are important. My kids read so many books on summer lists, tchr never mentions them in Fall #ELLCHAT
