ELLP
Social language is for communication in interpersonal contexts and can be either spoken or written. It may include “functional language”, which is used for buying something at a shop, getting information, etc. Can be considered “playground language”. This is known as basic interpersonal communication skills (BICS).
Academic language is for learning and communicating in educational contexts. I can be either spoken or written and its main purpose at school is for learning within the curriculum. This is known as cognitive academic language proficiency (CALPS).
Each stages are very broad, so it takes time for the learners to meet the criteria.
How do find the stage of the learners?
Years 1-2: Foundation and Stage 1
Years 3-4: Foundation, Stage 1 and Stage 2.
Years 5-8: Foundation, Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3.
When we look at the level, it should be completely highlighted before we go to the next level.
We have to go from left to right.
If the learners are not progressed, we need not have to highlight anything, but put the date for the leaders to identify
It takes about 2 years to move from foundation to stage 1
This is a great resource for all teachers to gain further professional development as well as a great place to ask questions
What Next?
I will try to keep track of the ELL learners progress based on the requirements. I will include in my planning to see the progress of the ELL learners
