9. Language Development BICS & CALP (Theorist: Jim Cummins) Differentiate between social and academic language acquistion  BICS BICS – Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills Refers to listening and speaking skills that students tend to communicate in social situations. For Example: BICS allows a child to talk with friends on the soccer field or to ask someone for directions. Day by day language.

10. Language Development BICS and CALP  CALP – (Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency)  CALP takes longer for students to develop, often between five to seven years (Ford and Robertson) but can take longer for students with less proficiency in their native language (seven to ten years).  CALP is needed for lectures, classes discussions and research projects.  Skills that require summarizing, analyzing, extracting and interpreting meaning, evaluating evidence, composing and editing.

11. BICS VS. CALP TABLE GROUPS  On chart paper, write 5 phrases you may hear that would reflect a child’s social language skills (e.g.BICS). Write 5 phrases you may hear that would reflect a child’s academic language skills (e.g. CALP).  Example: “BICs (“I like soccer.”) “CALP (“A soccer ball is a three dimensional figure and it’s a sphere.”)

12. Stages of Language Development Researchers: Stephen Krashen and Tracy Terrell  Preproduction: “Silent Period”, student is taking in the target language and not speaking it.  Early Production: The student beings to try speaking using short phrases, but the focus is still on listening and absorbing the new language. Many errors occur in this stage.  Speech Emergent: Words and sentences are longer, but the student relies heavily on context clues and familiar topics. Vocabulary increases and errors decrease.

13. Language Development  Beginning Fluency: In social situations, speech is fairly fluent with minimal errors. New context and academic language are challenging due to gaps in vocabulary.  Intermediate Fluency: Communicating in the second language is fluent, especially in social language. In new situations or in academic areas speech is approaching fluency, but some gaps in vocabulary knowledge still exist.  Advanced Fluency: Student communicates fluently in all contexts and can maneuver successfully in new context and when exposed to new academic information. The student may still have an accent and use idiomatic expressions incorrectly at times, but is essentially fluent and comfortable communicating in the second language.
