When ELL students have better command of oral English, they also
have improved reading and writing abilities. When we take into
consideration the fact that very few classroom teachers have been
trained to promote oral language development, the significant
achievement gaps between ELLs and their non-ELL peers are not at
all surprising. Only by engaging ELLs in academic conversations can
teachers ensure close the literacy gap. This resources guides
teachers in the use academic oral language development as a
scaffold for the demands and rigor of writing. Academic oral
language development is embedded in writing lessons through the
strategic teaching and use of Think-Pair-Share. At the same time,
the author focuses on building background knowledge experiences so
that students have a basis in content knowledge for writing.
Finally, the Frayer model is used to strategically teach vocabulary
development, so that students have a foundational vocabulary set to
draw upon as they write. Moving from Speak to Written Language With
ELLs is especially timely with the release of the Common Core
standards which calls upon students to develop writing proficiency
across the content areas.
