EL (English Language) Students and WIDA Standards Presented By: Mrs. Gregory, School Counselor

• Social and Instructional Language • The Language of Language Arts Introduction The resources contained in this presentation are intended to support classroom instruction. As with all WIDA products and services, they address language proficiency in relation to five English language proficiency (ELP) standards: • Social and Instructional Language • The Language of Language Arts • The Language of Mathematics • The Language of Science • The Language of Social Studies The following table displays the major components of WIDA’s standards-based system. Components of WIDA’s Standards-based System Standards-based Component Distinguishing Feature Strands of Model Performance Indicators as representative of the WIDA English Language Proficiency Standards. It illustrate how English language learners process and use language for each English language proficiency standard, language domain, and language proficiency level by grade level cluster. The Performance Definitions outlines how English language learners process and use language for each level of language proficiency in grades K-12. The Can Do Descriptors describes how English language learners process and use language for each language domain and level of language proficiency by grade level cluster. The Speaking and Writing Rubrics documents how English language learners process and use language in the domain of speaking or writing for each level of language proficiency based on three criteria: linguistic complexity, vocabulary usage, and language control in grades K-12.

process, understand, produce, or use: Performance Definitions for the Level of English Language Proficiency in Grades K-12 At the given level of English language proficiency, English Language Learners will process, understand, produce, or use: 6 Reaching • specialized or technical language reflective of the content areas at grade level • a variety of sentence lengths of varying linguistic complexity in extended oral or written discourse as required by the specified grade level • oral or written communication in English comparable to English-proficient peers 5 Bridging • specialized or technical language of the content areas • a variety of sentence lengths of varying linguistic complexity in extended oral or written discourse, including stories, essays, or reports • oral or written language approaching comparability to that of English-proficient peers when presented with grade-level material 4 Expanding • specific and some technical language of the content areas • a variety of sentence lengths of varying linguistic complexity in oral discourse or multiple, related sentences, or paragraphs • oral or written language with minimal phonological, syntactic, or semantic errors that do not impede the overall meaning of the communication when presented with oral or written connected discourse with sensory, graphic, or interactive support 3 Developing • general and some specific language of the content areas • expanded sentences in oral interaction or written paragraphs • oral or written language with phonological, syntactic, or semantic errors that may impede the communication, but retain much of its meaning, when presented with oral or written, narrative, or expository descriptions with sensory, graphic, or interactive support 2 Beginning general language related to the content areas • phrases or short sentences • oral or written language with phonological, syntactic, or semantic errors that often impede the meaning of the communication when presented with one- to multiple-step commands, directions, questions, or a series of statements with sensory, graphic, or interactive support 1 Emerging • pictorial or graphic representation of the language of the content areas • words, phrases, or chunks of language when presented with one-step commands, directions, WH-, choice, or yes/no questions, or statements with sensory, graphic, or interactive support • oral language with phonological, syntactic, or semantic errors that often impede meaning when presented with basic oral commands, direct questions, or simple statements with sensory, graphic, or interactive support

Uses for the Can Do Descriptors The grade level cluster Can Do Descriptors have been created by teachers, primarily for teachers, who work with English language learners throughout the consortium. During 2007-08, over 900 teachers and administrators participated in refining and validating five grade level clusters of Descriptors from the original document spanning the K-12 spectrum. These Descriptors for the four language domains—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—and five levels of English language proficiency are based on the WIDA English Language Proficiency Standards. The Can Do Descriptors are a sampling of the language expectations of English language learners as they travel along the continuum of English language development. Unlike the strands of model performance indicators that scaffold across levels of language proficiency, the Can Do Descriptors function independently within a given level of language proficiency. Uses for the Can Do Descriptors The Can Do Descriptors are a resource, in addition to the English language proficiency standards, to use in classrooms with English language learners. As an instructional assessment tool, language teachers may: * Share the Descriptors with classroom teachers and administrators to describe the second language acquisition process around the levels of English language proficiency • Provide resource teachers, such as Title I or literacy coaches, additional information about English language learners • Use to plan with tutors or mentors who work with English language learners • Develop or co-develop lessons and units of study with differentiated language objectives • Set language goals with their English language learners* • Explain to parents students’ progress in listening, speaking, reading, and writing* • Suggest language goals to be incorporated into Individual Education Programs (IEPs) for English language learners with diagnosed disabilities • Translate English language proficiency test scores (i.e., ACCESS for ELLs®, W-APT™, and WIDA MODEL™) into classroom practice • Observe and note levels of student performance as a precursor to using WIDA Speaking and Writing Rubrics for formative assessment • Use the Descriptors to advocate on behalf of English language learners

The three bullets within each proficiency level in the Performance Definitions represent: • Linguistic Complexity—the amount and quality of speech or writing for a given situation • Vocabulary Usage—the specificity of words or phrases for a given context • Language Control—the comprehensibility of the communication based on the amount and types of errors The Performance Definitions provide a concise, global overview of language expectations for each level of English language proficiency. They span the spectrum of grade levels which means that educators must interpret the meaning of the Definitions according to students’ cognitive development due to age, their grade level, their diversity of educational experiences, and any diagnosed learning disabilities (if applicable).
