    2. 2/17/2012 2 Introduction Language Differences in the classroom is a growing problem in each school system. I think that it is an issue in today's society because many children are moving into American classrooms and American teachers are having to learn how to deal with children that do not speak English as their main language.

    4. 2/17/2012 4 Overview Continued Discuss the best learning environment for children that have language differences and how teachers can help to put it in their classrooms.

    5. 2/17/2012 5 Development Period The development period includes four stages: The continued use of the home language The silent or nonverbal period Sound experimentation and use of telegraphic speech Productive use of the new language

    6. 2/17/2012 6 A Common Mistake Made Children playing in isolation and not speaking in either language, may be misinterpreted or mislabeled as a problem when in fact children are simply beginning to learn the new language.

    7. 2/17/2012 7 Language Numbers There are 6,000-7,000 languages in the world. Only 912 are used languages 238 languages are in the United States Only 162 of those are used in the United States The National Association for Bilingual Education in over 23 states has more than 20,000 bilingual and English-as-a-second-language professionals working in this area.

    9. 2/17/2012 9 Learning Environments As teachers, we will have language differences in the classrooms. When you think about classroom instruction, you may think about the teacher talking and the students listening or taking notes. Children do not need to be quit when they are trying to learn a different language.

    10. 2/17/2012 10 Collaborative Talk Collaborative talk in the classroom is very essential to the student. The student will get to learn and explore the new language. The best two ways for the student to get a better grasp on the different language is a student organized face-to-face talk and a Question-Response-Feedback interaction.

    11. 2/17/2012 11 Storytelling Storytelling is a fun way that teachers introduce new material to students, but it is also a way that a classroom full of children that know different languages can learn from each other

    12. 2/17/2012 12 Sign Language American Sign Language (ASL) is a complex visual spatial language that is used in the United States and English speaking countries. Sign Language is only one language example that is used in the United States.

    17. 2/17/2012 17 What This Means The children like to be interactive when it is on their level of communicating when there are language differences in the classroom. As a teacher, you should intertwine more student discussions or participations and not so many lectures where your students are only hearing you talk.

    18. 2/17/2012 18 As a whole, your students and you working together, there should be no problem in getting the language differences in the classroom only to be a minor problem instead of the major problem.
