According to Dr. Margo Gottlieb, lead WIDA Developer, Academic language is defined by the language of social interaction and that of core curriculum areas. Academic content is associated with the skills and knowledge of the discipline. Language and content intersect when you measure vocabulary.
Create meaningful discussions that draw from conversational language that includes academic vocabulary.
Sharing and Listening while collaborating in regards to something that is meaningful to the student will result in great conversations and discussions.
Collaboration and Inquiry-Based LearningTeach students to be critical thinkers through a unique questioning strategy supporting close reading of complex texts.informational textclose reading strategieswriting to sourcescritical thinkingappropriate text complexitytext dependent questions and tasks
Inquiry-Based Learning
Shared Inquiry is a method of teaching and learningthat enables peopleof all ages to explore the ideas, meaning, and information found in everything they read. It centers on interpretive questions that have more than one plausible answer and can lead to engaging and insightful conversations about the text. And it is based on the conviction that participants can gain a deeper understanding of a text when they work together and are prompted by the skilled questioning of their discussion leader.
Inquiry-Based LearningParticipants must read the selection carefully before the discussion.
The goal of the group is to discuss the ideas in the text and explore them fully.
Participants should support interpretations of the text with evidence from the work.
Everyone needs to listen carefully to the other participants and respond to them directly.
The leader is there to ask questions rather than offer his/her own interpretations of the text.
Five key guidelines to engaging in a successful Shared Inquiry discussion:
