Constructivist Strategies for Teaching English Language Learners
"The authors embrace the constructivist paradigm as a natural teaching and learning response to the specific needs of ELLs. A unique and remarkable contribution to the theoretical and research-based literature." —Karen C. Evans, Principal David Walker Elementary School, Evanston, IL "Reyes and Vallone invite readers on an exciting journey inside classrooms where knowledgeable, caring, advocacy-oriented teachers effectively engage English Language Learners through culturally and linguistically responsive pedagogy." —Carlos J. Ovando, Professor Arizona State University Combine constructivist methods and culturally responsive instruction to improve educational equity. As the population of English Language Learners (ELLs) grows, educators need new strategies to effectively promote second language acquisition and literacy development in all content areas. By linking constructivist pedagogies to ELL instruction, Constructivist Strategies for Teaching English Language Learners provides a culturally responsive approach that builds on students′ experiences and strengths. Sharon Adelman Reyes and Trina Lynn Vallone supply in-depth classroom examples and grade-level connections to help readers apply constructivist methods in teaching ELLs. Designed for inclusive classrooms with diverse student backgrounds and abilities, this hands-on guide examines: Perspectives on second language acquisition and learning Program models for ELLs Instructional practices informed by critical pedagogy Examples of constructivist classroom programs Mainstream and bilingual teachers, ESL specialists, principals, and teacher leaders will find the conceptual foundation and practical methods needed to promote academic success for ELLs.
Constructivist Strategy Questioned. Problem-based, Experiential and Inquiry-based teaching
Essay from the year 2015 in the subject Pedagogy - The Teacher, Educational Leadership, grade: B, The University of Liverpool, course: EdD Education, language: English, abstract: The constructivist learning theory based on the psychological theory of the active construction of knowledge by the learner has been bandied by educators and researchers for several decades for use in the classroom as more successful than the traditional transmission model of teaching in virtually every discipline. Often the discourse of the usefulness of the constructivist approach in pedagogy has been pedalled to both the practicing and neophytes’ teachers and lecturers as undisputed and capable of astounding results. Teachers and lecturers, in response, often have simply incorporated some group work and project work in their courses and rationalised that this may be sufficient inclusion of a student centred approach without any greater understanding of what a constructivist approach to teaching or lecturing comprises. Granted that the majority of teachers are given inadequate training for the use of constructivist approaches, they have merely paid lip service to its use and have not in the majority of cases demonstrated the art of engaging with the constructivist approach to the maximum potential. A major problem with the implementation of constructivist approaches is the inadequate training and comprehension of constructivist strategies to be employed in subject-specific domains. This paper offers an examination of the literature from the perspective of the problem of unsatisfactory implementation of constructivist strategies in the classroom.
