FloradTeach Feb 6 @ 9:11 PM EST

A2 I like to use portable word walls Ss can access, Great to help them "find" words to communicate their ideas #ELLCHAT

A2 from a #preschool point of view, word walls might be helpful or they might just be a lot of visual clutter. Thoughts? #ELLCHAT

mike_stein33 Feb 6 @ 9:12 PM EST

I was thinking something similar. Word walls help students see similarities/differences in formation & spelling of words #ellchat

Before purging, take pics & save as mini word walls to support learners who may need the continued support #ellchat

  A4 @judiehaynes also said "Be sure there are not too many words on the wall. “ How often do you purge them? #ELLCHAT

A5 Tough b/c w/ pulling Ss, it’s hard to keep a word wall that is useful. I build a lot of vocab off white board + send words w/ Ss #ellchat

MrC_A2 Feb 6 @ 9:49 PM EST

A5 Vocab works well w/ sentence stems to build language usage. Here I used vocab + sentence frame to support language development. #ellchat

A5 via @Judiehaynes Use variety of activities ex. chant, snap, cheer, clap, tracing, word guessing games as well as writing them #ELLCHAT

A5 teach kids a physical movement for each word, games like backwards charades, cover a word a day & see if they can guess it #ellchat

A5) Kids take words off the wall to make sentences or use in conversation. Many different words are used, reinforced, and shared. #ELLCHAT

Q5 Having students work in group to build comprehension and application of words, project based, would be great for ELLs! #ellchat

And… to round out tonight’s discussion, Q5 What other scaffolds do you use to support ELLs’ vocabulary development? #ELLCHAT

MrC_A2 Feb 6 @ 9:52 PM EST

I like this a lot! I’ve seen this used with a lot of success! #ellchat

I would make a word wall based on theme or a specific topic, to bring context to the word.

A4; make them used in instruction. They aren't just there to be pretty. They need to be used! #ellchat

You all had a lot of ideas in common about word walls so far, but some very weird ideas too! #ELLCHAT a lot to save from tonight’s chat!

MrC_A2 Feb 6 @ 9:55 PM EST

A6 Scaffolds I use 4 vocab instruction are visuals + student created descriptions of words + activation of background knowledge. #ellchat

ValentinaESL Feb 6 @ 9:55 PM EST

A5 sentence/paragraph frames help S to use vocabulary in context #ellchat

KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Feb 6 @ 9:56 PM EST

@judiehaynes was wondering if there would be enough to talk about with just word walls - but you brought such creativity! #ELLCHAT

A5: front loading the acad.vocab thru ww or g-drive for the lesson. Use color for academic words (thanks @TanELLclassroom) #ellchat

A6: Mentioned earlier that I used vocab sheets. ELLs rated word knowledge (pre & post unit), wrote synonym or translation, notes #ELLChat

nikiugel Feb 6 @ 9:58 PM EST

A6) to scaffold and differentiate, antonyms and synonyms can be placed around the target word. Helps ALL understand word meaning. #ELLCHAT
