A letter to you…
Dear Teacher (Facilitator),

The objective of having a teacher’s manual is to provide an instrument to reflect on how curriculum, assessment,
and instruction link together as they pertain to the objectives and interests of the English language learner. Through
backward design, we seek to understand what is worthy of understanding, what is evidence of understanding, and
what learning experiences best promote understanding (Department of Education…, 2004).

The manual begins with the syllabi offered in the Fomento program. This better orientates the English language
facilitator as to what the student should already know, what they are to learn during the present course, and what
they will learn in future Fomento courses.

The next section of the manual contains forms that the facilitator may use throughout the semester in order to share information
between students, educators, and coordinators. The first three forms (course plan, scheme of work, and lesson plan) serve only
as a guide. If you have a particular layout that you follow for planning your class, feel free to use it.

The third part of the manual includes an Excel file with the learners’ grades. An Excel spreadsheet is provided in Moodle and
should be used to help keep track of the learners’ achievement. This grade book is to be given to the coordinators at the end of
the semester as part of the portfolio.

The Team Teaching report/Observation report is an instrument intended to help facilitators reflect and share information and
experiences in the classroom. Each semester, each facilitator will team up with another facilitator and team-teach a class. Each
facilitator will fill out his or her own report and include it in each respective portfolio. It is expected that each report is different
since it is common to have different perspectives from a single experience. Coordination with post signup dates in Yahoo Groups
required for team teaching participation. In the event that team teaching is not possible, individual observations will be
conducted.

An exam/quiz feedback template is provided to give facilitators means of communicating ways of improving the way we assess
the language learner. Due dates for submitting feedback templates will be posted in Yahoo Groups, but will generally be a week
after each examination.
A needs analysis template is provided and should be given out to the language learners the first day of classes. Aside from
helping the facilitator design appropriate instruction, this will also serve as a basis of reflection on the part of the facilitator that will
be included in his or her portfolio.

Reflections should be based on the needs analysis of the class and should share experiences (positive/negative) on the
semester. This reflection may include additional resources used in class, activities that were successful or could be changed in
the future to better the educational experience, and/or any other general comments about the facilitator’s experience teaching in
Fomento.

The templates and information included at the end of the manual are intended to assist the facilitator if needed. The forms are
not required when submitting the final portfolio at the end of the semester.

Completion of the portfolio is part of the teacher evaluation (evaluación al desempeño de jefes de departamento a profesores).
Suggestions are always welcome regarding changes to the portfolio in its current form. If we all work together (students,
facilitators, and coordinators), we can continue to improve the quality of education we are providing!

Cordially,
Benjamin Stewart

Instructional Reading Strategies (Anderson, 1999, pp. 72-73)


Instructional reading strategies are questions that can be shared with the English language learners in
order for them to strategize which strategies to use; that is, it is not enough that the learners simply
know the reading strategies. They must also why, how, when and where to use these strategies.

 What is the strategy? Being able to identify the main idea is one of the most important reading
skills you can develop. It is a skill that you need to apply to the majority of reading contexts.

 Why should the strategy be learned? If the main idea can be identified, comprehension is
facilitated by being able to organize the information presented and by being able to distinguish
main ideas from supporting ideas and details.

 How can the strategy be used? Read to locate the thesis statement of the passage and the topic
sentences of each paragraph. Read quickly, don’t worry about the details.

 When should the strategy be used? Main idea comprehension should be used when reading
expository passages which contain much new information.

 Where should the reader look? The reader should read the first and last paragraphs of a passage
and read the first sentence of each paragraph. Readers should be reminded to ask themselves
the following questions: 1) What idea is common to most of the text? 2) What is the idea that
relates the parts to the whole? 3) What opinion do all the parts support? 4) What idea do they all
explain or describe?

 How can you evaluate the use of the strategy? In the early stages of reading comprehension,
open discussions with the reader will be the best method to verify whether the strategy is being
used appropriately. The use of verbal think-aloud protocols can facilitate the evaluation of the
strategy.

Learning Strategies

 Metacognitive Strategies
o Matching thinking and problem-solving strategies to particular learning situations
o Clarifying purposes for learning
o Monitoring one’s own comprehension through self-questioning
o Taking corrective action if understanding fails (Dermody & Speaker, 1995)
 Cognitive Strategies
o Helps students organize the information they are expected to learn through the process
of self-regulation (Paris, 2001)
o Are directly related to individual learning tasks and are used by learners when they
mentally and/or physically manipulate material, or when they apply a specific technique
to a learning task (Pressley, Johnson, Symons, McGoldrick, & Kurita, 1989; Slater &
Horstman, 2002)
o Previewing a story prior to reading, establishing a purpose for reading, consciously
making connections between personal experiences and what is happening in a story,
taking notes during a lecture, completing a graphic organizer, and creating a semantic
map (McLaughlin & Allen, 2002)
 Social/Affective Strategies
o People interact with each other to clarify a confusing point or when they participate in a
group discussion or cooperative learning group to solve a problem (O’Malley &
Chamot, 1990)
 ESL Standards and Strategies
o Goal 1, Standard 3: Students will use learning strategies to extend their communicative
competence
o Goal 2, Standard 3: Students will use appropriate learning strategies to construct and
apply their academic knowledge
o Goal 3, Standard 3: Students will use appropriate learning strategies to extend their
sociolinguistic and socio-cultural competence (TESOL, 1997)
 Mnemonics: visualization and/or acronyms (Echevarria, Vogt, & Short, 2004)
 Reciprocal Teaching
o Summarizing
o Questioning
o Clarifying
o Predicting
 Jigsaw
 Concept attainment
 KWL: Know-want to know-learned
 Literature circles
 Guided reading
 SQP2RS
o Surveying
o Questioning
o Predicting
o Reading
o Responding
o Summarizing (Vogt, 2000, 2002)

 PENS
o Preview ideas
o Explore words
o Note words in a complete sentence
o See if the sentence is okay (Deshler, Ellis, and Lenz, 1996)
 GIST
o Read a section of text (students and teacher)
o Assist students in underlining the ten or more words or concepts that are deemed “most
important” to understanding the text.
o List these on the board and together write a summary statement or two using as many
of the listed words as possible
o Repeat the process through subsequent sections of the text
o Write a topic sentence to precede the summary sentences and the end result is a
summary paragraph (Muth & Alvermann, 1999).
 Rehearsal strategies
o Visual aids (i.e., flashcards)
o Note-taking (McCormick & Pressley, 1997; Muth & Alvermann, 1999)
 Graphic Organizers (i.e., Venn diagrams, timelines, flow charts, semantic maps, concept maps,
etc.)
 Comprehension strategies
o Prediction
o Self-questioning
o Monitoring
o Determining importance
o Summarizing (Dole, Duffy, Roehler, and Pearson, 1991)
 Scaffolding Techniques
o Verbal scaffolding
 Paraphrasing
 Using “think-alouds”
 Reinforcing contextual definitions (Echevarria, Vogt, & Short, 2004, p. 86)
o Procedural scaffolding
 Using an instructional framework that includes explicit teaching, modeling, and
practice opportunities with others, and expectations for independent application
 One-on-one teaching, coaching, and modeling
 Small group instruction with children practicing and newly learned strategy with
another more experienced student
 Partnering or grouping students for reading activities with more experienced
readers assisting those with less experience (Nagel, 2001)
o Instructional scaffolding (i.e., graphic organizers)
o Assessment scaffolding

 Questioning Techniques
o Six facets of understanding
 Explanation
 Interpretation
 Application
 Perspective

Last update: December 2010

 Empathy
 Self-Knowledge (Wiggins & McTighe, 2005, p. 120)
o Framing essential questions around big ideas relevant to effective skill learning
 Key concepts
 Purpose and value
 Strategy and tactics
 Context of use (Wiggins & McTighe, 2005, p. 113)
o Bloom’s Taxonomy
 Knowledge
 Comprehension
 Application
 Analysis
 Synthesis
 Evaluation
o QAR (Question-Answer Relationships) (Raphael, 1984)
o QtA (Question the Author) (Beck and McKeown, 2002)
 CALLA propositions
o Mentally active learners are better learners
o Strategies can be taught
o Learning strategies transfer to new tasks academic language learning is more effective
with learning strategies
Note: Learners need declarative knowledge (What is the strategy?), procedural knowledge (How do I
use the strategy?), and conditional knowledge (When and why do I use the strategy?) when practicing
strategies (Lipson and Wixson, 2003).
