Knowledge and Skills Statement

Developing and sustaining foundational language skills: listening, speaking, discussion, and thinking -- oral language. The student develops oral language through listening, speaking, and discussion.

Pídales a los estudiantes que participen en una discusión recíproca en la que cada estudiante toma una actitud específica y posición sobre un tópico. Empiece estableciendo una pregunta que atraiga la atención sobre un tópico que sea relevante en la vida de los estudiantes, como ¿creen que la hora del recreo debe ser más larga? o ¿les gusta la comida que sirven en la cafetería? Dígales a los estudiantes que respondan a la pregunta expresando sus opiniones y usando detalles de apoyo. Asegúrese de que los estudiantes tienen un entendimiento claro de los comportamientos deseables.

Comportamientos a observar:

  • Los estudiantes hablan a una velocidad apropiada, la cual no es ni muy rápida ni muy lenta.
  • Los estudiantes hablan usando un volumen apropiado, el cual no es ni muy bajo ni muy alto.
  • Los estudiantes pronuncian con claridad las palabras que usan.
  • Los estudiantes tienen contacto visual apropiado con su audiencia.


Further Explanation

Esta expectativa estudiantil requiere que los estudiantes desarrollen una opinión, organicen sus pensamientos y den sus opiniones a otros. Los estudiantes necesitan entender lo suficiente acerca del tópico para formarse una opinión. Los estudiantes deben poder demostrar su comprensión acerca del lenguaje apropiado en el salón de clases, así como de lo que se espera con respecto al contacto visual, volumen, pronunciación y velocidad del habla. Cheque si los estudiantes usan los comportamientos deseados durante su discusión: apoyar una opinión con hechos, así como usar apropiadamente la velocidad, el volumen, la pronunciación y el contacto visual al hablar. Se deben revisar y enseñar de nuevo las destrezas de comunicación si es necesario.

When students share an opinion about a topic, it is important that they provide facts and evidence to support their opinion. For example, a teacher may ask students who they believe is an influential historical figure. A student may identify Bessie Coleman as an influential figure. The student should also support that opinion by including facts about Bessie Coleman (e.g., she was the first African-American female pilot, she performed in flight shows across the United States).
A speaker has effectively conveyed an idea when the message is easy to understand and relevant to the audience and the presentation is engaging. In addition to the structure of the presentation and the speaker's delivery of the presentation, other conditions, such as the speaker's comfort level, time limitations, and visual aids, can impact the speaker's ability to effectively convey the message.
the rules broadly agreed upon as standard for communicating in written or oral form
Students are expected to use verbal and nonverbal techniques when giving a presentation to capture the audience's attention and keep it engaged throughout the presentation. An effective presenter should always face the audience and be attentive to audience reactions. When presenting, students should also use appropriate verbal and nonverbal techniques to emphasize key concepts and make the message clear and easy to understand.
the act of speaking with distinct articulation
An opinion is a thought regarding a certain topic. Students will share opinions verbally through various forms of oral communication such as a conversation between peers or answering a question asked by the teacher. For example, a teacher may ask students, “What celebration do you believe is most fun?” A student may choose to share an opinion by describing why they like birthday parties.
the act of looking directly into another's eyes while communicating
how fast or slow a person speaks Speaking rate may vary based on emotions or the message being conveyed.

Summary: The article promotes the use of literature circles to support literacy, especially for English learners. Literature circles allow student to interact through sharing ideas, opinions, and personal responses to literature. Students become active participants and learn to manage their literature circle activities, negotiating the structure of their timelines. The study participants were a fourth-grade class in which 5 of the 24 students had varying levels of language acquisition. The use of literature circles led to decreased anxiety about reading and participation and increased reading accuracy and comprehension.

Summary: The author examines the value of students' classroom discussion for oral language development. As a collaborative activity, students were required to adapt an assigned story into a multimodal format, which encouraged a "wide range of immediate, complex, and unplanned oral language" discussions as students had to "express views, justify ideas, negotiate, evaluate and collaborate to produce their planned oral scripts."
