18. Principles Know the Learner
Ensure a balance between receptive and productive language
Begin with context-embedded tasks which make the abstract concrete - use videos, lots of visuals, graphic organisers
Provide multiple opportunities for authentic language use with a focus on learners using academic language -SOLO HOT Maps - Verbs
Help students achieve the same explicit learning outcomes using differentiated levels of support - SOLO Rubrics
Include opportunities for monitoring and self-evaluation- The process
Identify the learning outcomes including the language demands of the topic - (LAC) Ask a colleague, ask me, ask google
These principles are identified and the teaching sequence is linked to these in the DVD 3 ‘Making Language and Learning work’ Integrating Language and learning in Years 5 - 8

19. Where to Next- It takes us all to educate one child- Sisifo

Use the ELLP and the SELLIPS
Evidence based- reading decoding and comprehension - if they are reading at level PM 20- what are they like when using probe?
Writing, evidence based and OTJ- how would they do in 20 mins or in asTTles.
Check their history, check their school entry form.
These principles are identified and the teaching sequence is linked to these in the DVD 3 ‘Making Language and Learning work’ Integrating Language and learning in Years 5 - 8 19

20. A sense of urgency Did you know that ELL children
-learn 2,000 words per year
-learn 25 new words per week (LAC)
-must make 18 months progress in one year to catch the moving target by year 6
-Need 2-3 years to master BICS
-Need 7-10 years to master CALPS
-At 12 years old have set Guttoral chords and their accent stays
-Need 20 hours of context embedded learning to learn a second language
-Need their first language strong to transfer knowledge

21. Balanced Bilingual
The ideal second language learner is 9-10 years old and have a strong history of their written literacy in their language.
They can read and write in their first language.
Junior school children need extra support and ongoing scaffold right up to year 6.
Teachers provide context embedded and cognitively demanding tasks.
