JiJi Can Talk! An Oral Language Strategy Guide for Blended Learning Math Classrooms Using ST Math
Year: 2016
Type: article
Abstract: The research question addressed in this project was, how can an oral language strategy guide be created to support ELs language development in the elementary math classroom that uses ST Math. The capstone outlines strategies that can be paired with online content from ST Math to help ELs and native speakers develop oral language around the math puzzles presented in the standards based curriculum. By simultaneously addressing conceptual understanding of math content and English language development, the strategy guide works to meet the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics and the Principles of Math Instruction for ELs using ST Math, an online visual tool, as the language support. The strategy guide incorporates ESL best practice including SIOP strategies and presents numerous graphic organizers and oral language supports to encourage mathematical discourse using everyday and academic language.
