    #ELLCHAT A2 #ELL students have to learn all the vocabulary that their Native Speaker peers do, and all the concepts, without necessarily having the support of understanding all the context and definition words. Parents who are #ELLs themselves may have trouble helping...
  • judiehaynes - Moderator Feb 12 @ 9:11 PM EST
    A2) ELLs must learn vocabulary, langauge structure and the content information.#ELLCHAT
  • MrsSaid17 Feb 12 @ 9:11 PM EST
    A2: ELs struggle with vocabulary and complex text structures in Science, Ts need to break it down lingusitically so it is attainable #ellchat
  • RLellaEdD Feb 12 @ 9:11 PM EST
    A2) Complex content vocabulary. Lots of vocab scaffolds needed. #ellchat
  • KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Feb 12 @ 9:12 PM EST
    A2 A big challenge for early childhood is that many teachers are unsure how to teach science in general, so they are way off track for including ELLs/DLLs #ELLCHAT
  • KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Feb 12 @ 9:13 PM EST
    A2 So many times I see #preK tchrs trying for “gravity” or “solar system” that are too abstract for any 4 year old, totally out of reach for different languages! #ELLCHAT
  • judiehaynes - Moderator Feb 12 @ 9:14 PM EST
    A2) ELLs may not be used to science lab environment or materials for experiments. #EllChat
  • KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Feb 12 @ 9:15 PM EST
    A2 for young children, there’s so much amazing science in everyday things that all can see and touch -bugs, running water, wheels, ramps, shade/sun, plants, etc etc all good for all languages! #ELLCHAT

    A1) Peitra, K-5 ELL Teacher, Massachusetts #ellchat
  • theESLlady Feb 12 @ 9:16 PM EST
    A2. I think even beyond difficult content vocabulary, a challenge is that many science teachers and grade level teachers assume that ELLs don’t need as many scaffolds in science because it’s often “hands on”. #ellchat
  • loliveira55 Feb 12 @ 9:16 PM EST
    A2 Vocabulary complexity, sometimes no cultural context to rely on. Need a lot of support in academic vocabulary in Science. #ellchat
  • PSCCESOL Feb 12 @ 9:16 PM EST
    #ELLCHAT A2 It is also important to remember that families may be sharing cultural or religious beliefs with a child that might go contrary to the ideas taught in science class. If a child is unsure in English and not comfortable asking questions, these concerns don't get solved.
  • MrsSaid17 Feb 12 @ 9:16 PM EST
    Science can be made approachable for ELs with engaging STEM tools. We had a newcomer parent meeting introducing STEM for Ps and Ss. #ellchat
  • judiehaynes - Moderator Feb 12 @ 9:16 PM EST
    A2) Science textbooks are difficult for ELLs. Sentence structure is complex and passive voice is often used. #ELLCHAT
  • famouspeitra Feb 12 @ 9:16 PM EST
    A2) Ss may have no schema with content #ellchat
  • KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Feb 12 @ 9:17 PM EST
    A2 so, for preK/K tchrs - it’s NOT so much about the vocab - it’s more about helping them choose the most relatable science topics that build concepts and skills to lead to later complex vocab #ELLCHAT
  • MsSalvac Feb 12 @ 9:17 PM EST
    A2) Vocabulary! But hey, all of the students in science are learning academic vocabulary. It can be a challenge for ELs but their presence can help science teachers focus on best practices for teaching vocab like Marzano's 6 steps. #ellchat
  • judiehaynes - Moderator Feb 12 @ 9:17 PM EST
    #ELLCHAT Let's discuss the challenges and then we'll move to solutions. #ELLCHAT
  • HSeslteacher Feb 12 @ 9:17 PM EST
    A2: Technical language of science presents challenge for ELLs, but much of that vocab is new to native English speakers, too. #ELLChat
  • PSCCESOL Feb 12 @ 9:19 PM EST
    #ELLCHAT A2 absolutely true. But often, even vocabulary used in definitions and explanations is complex, and easier for Native Speakers than #ELLs.
    In reply to @HSeslteacher
  • famouspeitra Feb 12 @ 9:19 PM EST
    A2: In order to be on a successful path, Ss must understand procedures as well as have access to content language #ellchat
  • KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Feb 12 @ 9:19 PM EST
    A2 I think for teachers of older ELLs, there may be missteps about science vocab, too. If you have ELLs, you could choose activities that build foundational vocab first
 IF
science teachers can agree! #ELLCHAT
  • judiehaynes - Moderator Feb 12 @ 9:20 PM EST
    A2) I think there's lot of everyday vocabulary that has a different meaning in science. Also the sentences are complex. #ELLCHAT

    A2 Plus - how many ESL tchrs are expert science teachers? The subtleties of science vocabulary are challenging for many of us! #ELLCHAT
  • judiehaynes - Moderator Feb 12 @ 9:22 PM EST
    Q3) What strategies do you use to scaffold science content for ELLS> #ELLCHAT
  • PSCCESOL Feb 12 @ 9:22 PM EST
    And the very process of science is often something Ts have trouble understanding or teaching. We say "scientific method," but do not show our students what it feels like to postulate and test a hypothesis. All of this is even harder when we are also working on language. #ELLCHAT
    In reply to @KarenNemethEdM
  • KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Feb 12 @ 9:23 PM EST
    A2 - I agree. Just because teachers plan something that students can put their hands on doesn’t mean they are good at making the connections for ELLs. Requires intentionality #ELLCHAT

  • MrsSaid17 Feb 12 @ 9:23 PM EST
    A3: You really need to find inventive ways to teach the vocabulary. It has to be pretaught with appropriate comprehensible input when needed. #ellchat

    #ELLCHAT A3 I formally do not teach science, but my reading class, when I teach it, has many articles about scientific ideas. My biggest goal is to model curiosity and show how we can look for more information together.
  • PSCCESOL Feb 12 @ 9:25 PM EST
    #ELLCHAT A3 Absolutely. If the vocabulary feels foreign and uncomfortable, students can't really use it to get comfortable with the concepts being taught!

  • judiehaynes - Moderator Feb 12 @ 9:27 PM EST
    A3) I use a lot of science-based articles to teach the language of science to ELLs. I found that supporting ELLs' science instruction was necessary for my ELLs. #ELLCHAT

  • famouspeitra Feb 12 @ 9:27 PM EST
    A3: Frontloading! We have used See-Think-Wonder from "Making Thinking Visible". Ss also need a purpose for learning, which can be supported with an Essential Question #ellchat
  • judiehaynes - Moderator Feb 12 @ 9:28 PM EST
    A3) I agree. ELLs need to be able to produce the language when speaking and writing. #ELLCHAT
    • PSCCESOL Feb 12 @ 9:25 PM EST
      #ELLCHAT A3 Absolutely. If the vocabulary feels foreign and uncomfortable, students can't really use it to get comfortable with the concepts being taught!

  • KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Feb 12 @ 9:29 PM EST
    A3 Ideally, in my dreamworld, science and other domains would be linked with planful vocabulary developed that supports multiple domains and builds gradually. ::sigh:: #ELLCHAT
  • loliveira55 Feb 12 @ 9:29 PM EST
    A3 I have found newer science textbooks include language support. I also use @Newsela science articles to teach vocabulary. #ellchat

  • PSCCESOL Feb 12 @ 9:37 PM EST
    #ELLCHAT A4 If we are teaching a scientific concept, we need to plan all the steps of the explanation carefully. That way, if tricky vocabulary is lurking in any part of the explanation, we can be prepared early. Lots of examples help too!
  • MrsSaid17 Feb 12 @ 9:38 PM EST
    A4: You need to do an anticipation activity to see what Ss know. You can also use the SIOP strategy magic buttons with a series of Qs. #ELLchat
  • judiehaynes - Moderator Feb 12 @ 9:39 PM EST
    A4) Check out tricky grammatical structures and long complex sentences. #ellchat

  • KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Feb 12 @ 9:45 PM EST
    A4 I know there are bigger words than this, but many early childhood teachers are surprised to learn that animal sounds are different in different languages - even that can help them connect science learning for ELLs/DLLs #ELLCHAT

    A3 one of the best scaffolds for young science learners is their own interests. A young child’s interests reveal their prior knowledge and vocab. If we listened and watched more, we could team more relatable science to ELLs/DLLs #ELLCHAT

    Q6) How do you support science teachers with ELLs in their classes? #ellchat
  • PSCCESOL Feb 12 @ 9:53 PM EST
    #ELLCHAT A3 I think this is pretty true for adult learners too. People who know how to cook, know chemistry. People who have raised animals know some biology. People who have set around reading and talking and listening learned interesting facts about the world.
