A5 I have also used storybird #ellchat

Q6) Sustained PD on teachers' own language ideologies and PD about translanguaging! Lots of myths to overcome about language #ellchat

MsValerioBCPS Apr 3 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A6- a "where to start" PD! Sometimes there are so many things going on, and so many things to do! Finding: Where to you even begin #ELLCHAT

A5 answering as a language S...my prof has us watch movies in italian and then write short essays (in italian) based on the movie #ellchat

I have done something similar & it's very effective #ellchat

A7: Instruction in differentiating in the writing workshop specific to ELL. Mainstream and sheltered need access to strategies. #ELLCHAT

A6 To teach writing, you have to understand a) language development and b) how to embed writing practice all day, everywhere #ELLCHAT

A6: I think giving ELLs feedback on writing is an important topic. Could be done via tech (in Google Doc, audio feedback, etc.) #ELLChat

I love this! @SIOPModel has an excellent resource on CD showing instruction in Mandarin that I'm hoping to get my hands on. #ELLCHAT

A6: I think you have to first know the levels of your ss not just have a great idea of assignment handy! #ELLchat

easkelton Apr 3 @ 9:56 PM EDT

A6) PD on what S's CAN DO w/writing + next step for support (not just editing grammar mistakes) #ELLchat #WIDA

DelaneyELDiana Apr 3 @ 9:56 PM EDT

My Ss watch 3D animated videos like SOAR and write stories. #ellchat

esljaana Apr 3 @ 9:56 PM EDT

We look at WIDA levels with all teachers so they know where to start with their ELs #ELLchat

abealarcon Apr 3 @ 9:56 PM EDT

Just spent the last 30 mins lurking. WOW! Great resources. Thx for sharing! Abe from NYC. #ellchat

ValentinaESL Apr 3 @ 9:57 PM EDT

Use a hierarchy for writing like @JSerravallo suggests in her book #ellchat

Q6) Feedback is important. Individual conf with ELLS about writing are helpful. Important to pick one element to critique. #ELLCHAT

MsValerioBCPS Apr 3 @ 9:57 PM EDT

Thank you for all of the amazing resources and new followers! We are all in this journey together. Growing all Ss! Buenas noches!#ELLCHAT

SharonJKGlenn Apr 3 @ 9:57 PM EDT

A6) Used this for PD because it gives ideas for classroom Ts for a range of students. #ellchat

MrC_A2 Apr 3 @ 9:57 PM EDT

A6 I think it’s important to understand the conventions of our Ss L1 before we teach L2. Lang. Acquisition shows our L1 impacts L2. #ellchat

MrC_A2 Apr 3 @ 9:58 PM EDT

A6 PD in Second Language Acquisition has helped me understand the nuances of language learning from the perspective of my Ss. #ellchat

Feel free to join #ELLCHAT on Monday nights at 9 PM. Glad you came tonight.

A6) My previous post is a page from this book. #ellchat

judiehaynes - Moderator Apr 3 @ 9:59 PM EDT

Q5) This is really important because we don't want students to write in L1 and then translate into English. #ELLCHAT
