PLA
IS
• A way to organize and support quality teaching
• Comprehensive and research-based
• For children learning English and for those also learning other languages
• A holistic approach for teachers
IS NOT
• A curriculum• Quick and easy to
implement• Just for Dual Language
Learners

Diversity: What do we know?
• The U.S. has been undergoing a profound demographic transition – Last quarter of the 20th century and will
continue well into the 21st century
![Page 5: Planned Language Approach What Is It? Why Should We Do It ? WIDA Conference October 23-24, 2014 Joanne Knapp-Philo, Ph.D. Robert Stechuk, Ph.D](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56649c9c5503460f9495a73b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• “Diversity” includes cultures, languages, and backgrounds– EHS/HS programs reflect the range of diversity
in the U.S.!

Dual Language Learners
OHS Definition of Dual Language Learners:
• Children – – Acquire two or more languages simultaneously
(i.e., from birth)
OR
– Learn a second language while continuing to develop their first language
• See the ECLKC – DLL Home Page for more information http://eclkc.ohs.acf.hhs.gov/hslc/tta-system/cultural-linguistic/Dual%20Language%20Learners

What’s poverty got todo with it?
• Impacts begin during pre-natal period
• Visible impacts forinfants, e.g., cognitionlanguage
• Extended impacts forpreschool-age, especiallylanguage
• Long-term/cross-generational impacts
![Page 10: Planned Language Approach What Is It? Why Should We Do It ? WIDA Conference October 23-24, 2014 Joanne Knapp-Philo, Ph.D. Robert Stechuk, Ph.D](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56649c9c5503460f9495a73b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The problem
• A synthesis of the evidence, directed by the National Research Council, emphasized the alarmingly high incidence of reading failure in the United States
• ….Approximately seven in ten low-income children do not become successful readers by the end of fourth grade (Snow, Burns, & Griffin, 1998)
• In brief, poverty and school success are strongly connected; therefore, PLA directly addresses this connection

Home Language:A Key Part of Instructional
Design
Children’s Home Language is the foundation of their school readiness, including their acquisition of English
![Page 13: Planned Language Approach What Is It? Why Should We Do It ? WIDA Conference October 23-24, 2014 Joanne Knapp-Philo, Ph.D. Robert Stechuk, Ph.D](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56649c9c5503460f9495a73b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Importance of Home Language
• Children develop their identity
• Children learn and develop social skills and emotional intelligence
• Children acquire cultural knowledge and identity
![Page 14: Planned Language Approach What Is It? Why Should We Do It ? WIDA Conference October 23-24, 2014 Joanne Knapp-Philo, Ph.D. Robert Stechuk, Ph.D](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56649c9c5503460f9495a73b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Children use their Home Language
• To understand themselves, their families and others
• To internalize the language they hear when parents and family members talk
• To think and reflect on information about themselves, their families, and their communities
![Page 15: Planned Language Approach What Is It? Why Should We Do It ? WIDA Conference October 23-24, 2014 Joanne Knapp-Philo, Ph.D. Robert Stechuk, Ph.D](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56649c9c5503460f9495a73b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Importance of Home Language
• In addition, a wide range of cognitive (thinking) skills are developing within the Home Language, such as: – Classification
– Categorization
– Logical/cause-and-effect reasoning
– Narrative abilities (length and complexity)
– Concepts related to spatial relations/math
![Page 16: Planned Language Approach What Is It? Why Should We Do It ? WIDA Conference October 23-24, 2014 Joanne Knapp-Philo, Ph.D. Robert Stechuk, Ph.D](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56649c9c5503460f9495a73b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Importance of Home Language
• Many studies show that young DLLs transfer their knowledge and skills across languages over time
• i.e., skills developed in a child’s Home Language support reading in English and school success
![Page 17: Planned Language Approach What Is It? Why Should We Do It ? WIDA Conference October 23-24, 2014 Joanne Knapp-Philo, Ph.D. Robert Stechuk, Ph.D](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56649c9c5503460f9495a73b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Importance of Home Language
• Uninterrupted development of the Home Language during the birth to age five period enables children to continue to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes they already have
• In addition, we want to maximize the knowledge and skills that children have as they enter school
![Page 18: Planned Language Approach What Is It? Why Should We Do It ? WIDA Conference October 23-24, 2014 Joanne Knapp-Philo, Ph.D. Robert Stechuk, Ph.D](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56649c9c5503460f9495a73b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Importance of Home Language to school success
• Phonological awareness in Spanish predicted English reading scores (Gottardo et al., 2002)
• Oral language proficiency in Spanish predicted English reading scores (Miller et al., 2006)
• See the OHS Multicultural Principles, pages 47-52, for a more complete discussion of the research

Reading
• Reading is at the core of school success and long-term achievement
• Oral language is the foundation for learning to read
• Specific “predictors” of reading success are clear
• SOOOO, ECE should give children the experiences we know they need!
![Page 26: Planned Language Approach What Is It? Why Should We Do It ? WIDA Conference October 23-24, 2014 Joanne Knapp-Philo, Ph.D. Robert Stechuk, Ph.D](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56649c9c5503460f9495a73b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Reading
• Learning to read is a profound developmental challenge for children (National research Council, 1998)
• Less than 4 in 10 school children are proficient readers…
![Page 27: Planned Language Approach What Is It? Why Should We Do It ? WIDA Conference October 23-24, 2014 Joanne Knapp-Philo, Ph.D. Robert Stechuk, Ph.D](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56649c9c5503460f9495a73b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Reading
• Children living in poverty are OVER represented in statistics of reading failure, as are children who speak a language other than English….but
• Most reading failure is preventable (National Research Council, 1998, 1999)
![Page 28: Planned Language Approach What Is It? Why Should We Do It ? WIDA Conference October 23-24, 2014 Joanne Knapp-Philo, Ph.D. Robert Stechuk, Ph.D](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56649c9c5503460f9495a73b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The “Big 5” of language and literacy development
• Background knowledge
• Oral language and vocabulary
• Phonological awareness
• Book knowledge and print concepts
• Alphabet knowledge and early writing
![Page 29: Planned Language Approach What Is It? Why Should We Do It ? WIDA Conference October 23-24, 2014 Joanne Knapp-Philo, Ph.D. Robert Stechuk, Ph.D](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56649c9c5503460f9495a73b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Background Knowledge
![Page 30: Planned Language Approach What Is It? Why Should We Do It ? WIDA Conference October 23-24, 2014 Joanne Knapp-Philo, Ph.D. Robert Stechuk, Ph.D](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56649c9c5503460f9495a73b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Background Knowledge includes
• All the information that children learn and store in memory about themselves, other people, objects, and the world around them
• Beliefs, values, rules, and expectations for behavior developed in different cultural settings and environments
![Page 31: Planned Language Approach What Is It? Why Should We Do It ? WIDA Conference October 23-24, 2014 Joanne Knapp-Philo, Ph.D. Robert Stechuk, Ph.D](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56649c9c5503460f9495a73b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Background Knowledge
• Developed through children’s daily interactions and experiences within their family and in their community
• Developed in one or more languages and can transfer to another language
• Organized in the child’s mind into concepts (schemas) that enable children to connect new information to their existing knowledge beginning at birth
![Page 32: Planned Language Approach What Is It? Why Should We Do It ? WIDA Conference October 23-24, 2014 Joanne Knapp-Philo, Ph.D. Robert Stechuk, Ph.D](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56649c9c5503460f9495a73b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Background Knowledge matters for DLLs because
• They may have different experiences depending on their family’s culture, language/s, social class, religion, emigration experiences, etc.
• Children are increasingly able to recognize and reflect upon aspects of different environments….this is a great source of conversation, word learning, and reflective thinking
![Page 33: Planned Language Approach What Is It? Why Should We Do It ? WIDA Conference October 23-24, 2014 Joanne Knapp-Philo, Ph.D. Robert Stechuk, Ph.D](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56649c9c5503460f9495a73b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Oral Language and Vocabulary
![Page 34: Planned Language Approach What Is It? Why Should We Do It ? WIDA Conference October 23-24, 2014 Joanne Knapp-Philo, Ph.D. Robert Stechuk, Ph.D](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56649c9c5503460f9495a73b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Phonological Awareness
![Page 37: Planned Language Approach What Is It? Why Should We Do It ? WIDA Conference October 23-24, 2014 Joanne Knapp-Philo, Ph.D. Robert Stechuk, Ph.D](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56649c9c5503460f9495a73b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Phonological Awareness
• A key predictor of early reading• For DLL children, must develop
competence with 2 sound systems• Children may be able to transfer skills
across language, e.g., segmenting words into syllables
![Page 38: Planned Language Approach What Is It? Why Should We Do It ? WIDA Conference October 23-24, 2014 Joanne Knapp-Philo, Ph.D. Robert Stechuk, Ph.D](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56649c9c5503460f9495a73b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

When teachers speak the Home Language
Activities that promote• Children’s enriched vocabulary• Levels of executive function• Specific approaches to
– learning– letter knowledge– print concepts and– phonological awareness
In the home language
![Page 42: Planned Language Approach What Is It? Why Should We Do It ? WIDA Conference October 23-24, 2014 Joanne Knapp-Philo, Ph.D. Robert Stechuk, Ph.D](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56649c9c5503460f9495a73b/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
When teachers speak the Home Language
• High-quality adult child interactions‒ Extended conversations that build vocabulary
and elaborate upon ideas and information
• Daily book-reading combined with multiple oral language strategies, e.g. ‒ Talking about the book before and after the
story‒ Explaining new words during reading, etc.
![Page 43: Planned Language Approach What Is It? Why Should We Do It ? WIDA Conference October 23-24, 2014 Joanne Knapp-Philo, Ph.D. Robert Stechuk, Ph.D](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56649c9c5503460f9495a73b/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
When teachers speak English only
• When teachers do not share the same language as the children they sometimes are “thrown off”
• Teachers have the ability—not only to communicate—but to have a significant impact upon children’s development and to effectively model English
• We want everyone to understand and implement effective models of English for ALL children
![Page 44: Planned Language Approach What Is It? Why Should We Do It ? WIDA Conference October 23-24, 2014 Joanne Knapp-Philo, Ph.D. Robert Stechuk, Ph.D](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56649c9c5503460f9495a73b/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
When teachers speak English only
Language acquisition… does not occur in isolation, it involves multiple, simultaneous levels of activity
• Children get (and stay) involved in activities (physical level) and…
• … They process information mentally as the activity continues (cognitive level)…
• … Over time, children acquire language as part of their involvement in the activity (language level)
![Page 45: Planned Language Approach What Is It? Why Should We Do It ? WIDA Conference October 23-24, 2014 Joanne Knapp-Philo, Ph.D. Robert Stechuk, Ph.D](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56649c9c5503460f9495a73b/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

When teachers speak English only
Modeling English1. Get the child involved in an activity that they
enjoy; offer the child choices of activities as needed…
2. As the activity continues, observe the child’s actions…
3. Provide language models related to the child’s ongoing activity (for example, the “self-talk” and “parallel talk” strategies within the CLASS instrument)
![Page 47: Planned Language Approach What Is It? Why Should We Do It ? WIDA Conference October 23-24, 2014 Joanne Knapp-Philo, Ph.D. Robert Stechuk, Ph.D](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56649c9c5503460f9495a73b/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Other strategies that work
• Tapes with family members telling/reading favorite stories
• Cultural artifacts suggested by families to make the environment feel more comfortable
• A quiet space for timeout
• Regular, planned, intentional repetition and practice
