separate underlying proficiency (SUP)

• Developed by Cummins; refers to the separateness of the two language systems of bilinguals, best represented by a container view of two separate systems competing for cognitive space. Foundations for Multilingualism in Education by Ester de Jong

sequential bilingual learner

• Instructional strategy in which student partnerships or small groups read a portion of text and then stop and say and, sometimes, write a reaction, supported by a sentence prompt for summary, prediction, question and answer, or personal or academic connection. Teaching for Biliteracy by Karen Beeman and Cheryl Urow

sequential bilingualism

• The process by which a person becomes bilingual by first learning one language and then learning the other. This situation occurs most naturally when students leave their homes in which a language other than English is commonly spoken or immigrate to another country after being raised and schooled in another language environment (see simultaneous bilingualism). Teaching Adolescent English Language Learners by Nancy Cloud, Judah Lakin, Erin Leininger, Laura Maxwell

• The development of proficiency in a second language after proficiency has been developed in the first language. Foundations for Teaching English Language Learners, second edition by Wayne E. Wright

sequential language learning

• The learning of a new language three or more years after the child has begun life speaking a first language (Paradis, Genesee, & Crago, 2011). Young Dual Language Learners by Karen N. Nemeth

shared reading

• A reading approach in which the teacher reads for and with the children. It calls for more direct student involvement in the actual reading of the text. Teachers engage children in guided dialogue to extend their understanding of texts and to enrich their oral language repertoire. They also encourage students to articulate (not only observe) cross-language connections.

Foundations for Teaching English Language Learners, second edition by Wayne E. Wright

shared writing

• An instructional approach in which the teacher and students take turns constructing a written text together. All the students in the class participate in the writing of the text by sharing the pen with the teacher, copying from the board, or encoding the text in their own notebooks. Biliteracy from the Start by Kathy Escamilla, Susan Hopewell, Sandra Butvilofsky, Wendy Sparrow, Lucinda Soltero-González, Olivia Ruiz-Figueroa, and Manuel Escamilla
• Writing instruction in which the teacher, in collaboration with the students, constructs an enlarged text (e.g., on chart paper). Students suggest sentences and revisions and the teacher models the use of a variety of writing strategies students are expected to use in their own writing. Foundations for Teaching English Language Learners, second edition by Wayne E. Wright

sheltered (content) instruction

• Sheltered instruction is an approach in which students develop knowledge in specific subject areas through the medium of their second language. Teachers modify their use of English to teach core subjects (e.g., math, science) in order to ensure that the material is comprehensible to learners and that it promotes their second language development. They also adjust the language demands of the lesson in many ways, such as by modifying speech rate and tone, simplifying vocabulary and grammar, repeating key words, phrases, or concepts, using context clues and models extensively, relating instruction to students’ background knowledge and experience, and using other learning supports (e.g., demonstrations, visuals, graphic organizers, or cooperative work) to make academic instruction understandable to students of different second language proficiency levels [also referred to as sheltered English instruction (SEI); specially designed academic instruction in English(SDAIE). Teaching Adolescent English Language Learners by Nancy Cloud, Judah Lakin, Erin Leininger, Laura Maxwell

• An approach within language education programs that serves English language learners from multiple language backgrounds with the goal of development of academic language in L2 (English) through content and applies to Spanish as a second language (SSL) in Spanish to English speakers. Assessment and Accountability in Language Education Programs by Margo Gottlieb and Diep Nguyen

• Offers English language learners grade-level core content courses taught in English using instructional strategies that make the content concepts accessible while students are acquiring English as a second language. These programs and courses are sometimes referred to as sheltered English immersion or specially designed academic instruction in English (SDAIE). The term sheltered instruction may also be used to describe pedagogy rather than a program design. Sheltered instruction practices and individual sheltered instruction courses can be and often are implemented in conjunction with other program alternatives. English Language Learners at School by Else Hamayan and Rebecca Field

• Sheltered instruction Educational services that offer English language learners access to grade-level core content courses taught in English using instructional strategies designed to make the content concepts comprehensible while students are acquiring English. Such programs/classes are sometimes referred to as sheltered English immersion (SEI) or specially designed academic instruction in English (SDAIE). The term sheltered instruction may also be used to describe actual instructional strategies (such as those designed to make content comprehensible to ELLs in the academic mainstream) rather than to a program design.Special Education Considerations for English Language Learners by Else Hamayan, Barbara Marler, Cristina Sánchez-López, and Jack Damico

simultaneous bilingualism

• The process by which a person becomes bilingual by learning two languages at the same time. This situation occurs most naturally when students are raised in a home and community where two languages are actively spoken.

simultaneous bilingual learner

• Student who has been exposed to two languages since before age 3. Teaching for Biliteracy by Karen Beeman and Cheryl Urow

simultaneous bilinguals

• Children who develop two languages at the same time. Definitions of simultaneous bilingualism vary, but it is generally thought to be exposure to and acquisition of two languages before the age of 5. Simultaneous bilinguals can be circumstantial (those who learn a second language because of their circumstances, such as immigrants or children of foreign students in universities) or elective (those whose parents choose to teach them two languages). Biliteracy from the Start by Kathy Escamilla, Susan Hopewell, Sandra Butvilofsky, Wendy Sparrow, Lucinda Soltero-González, Olivia Ruiz-Figueroa, and Manuel Escamilla

simultaneous biliteracy development

• Development of reading and writing skills in two languages at the same time. Foundations for Multilingualism in Education by Ester de Jong

simultaneous language acquisition

• Acquisition of two languages at the same time, generally before the age of 3 (also bilingual acquisition). Foundations for Multilingualism in Education by Ester de Jong

• The process by which a learner acquires more than one language at the same time (contrast sequential language acquisition). English Language Learners at School by Else Hamayan and Rebecca Field

• The learning of two or more languages at the same time, for example, when a father and mother speak different languages to the child. The child is considered to be experiencing simultaneous language acquisition if one or more of the languages is introduced before he or she turns 3 years old, and sequential language acquisition if the second language is introduced after age 3. Young Dual Language Learners by Karen N. Nemeth

single-dominance perspective

• A way of looking at two-language learners that assumes their abilities in both languages are not equal and identifies a dominant language, often resulting in the determination that the simultaneous bilingual learner is “low” in both languages. Teaching for Biliteracy by Karen Beeman and Cheryl Urow

singlets

Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium

• Smarter Balanced is a public agency supported by 15 states, one territory, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Through the work of thousands of educators, Smarter Balanced created an on-line assessment system aligned to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), as well as tools for educators to improve teaching and learning. Smarter Balanced is housed at UCLA’s Graduate School of Education & Information Studies (GSE&IS). www.smarterbalanced.org

standard error of measurement (SEM)

• A statistical measure that indicates a range of trustworthiness of an individual student’s standardized test score. For example, the actual score of student who earned a score of 50 on a test with an SEM of 3 would be between 47 and 53 (e.g., 50 +/– 3).

student-led conferences

• Meetings among teachers, students. and parents that are led by students rather than teachers. At the typical conference, students review their goals, provide evidence of whether they have met learning targets, reflect on their learning, and, with the guidance of the teacher and parents, set new goals. Assessment and Accountability in Language Education Programs by Margo Gottlieb and Diep Nguyen

submersion

• This term describes a “sink-or swim” environment in which ELLs are placed in general education classrooms with English-speaking students and a monolingual English-speaking teacher. With good intentions, administrators and teachers hope that the non–English-speaking children will learn English by being “immersed” in the language. The ELLs’ primary language is seldom used in the classroom or used sporadically for translation purposes. Literacy and academic content instruction as well as texts and supplemental materials are usually not designed or adapted for the ELL students. In the submersion classroom, ELLs are taught as if they do not have diverse academic and linguistic needs. As a result, the ELLs, especially the beginners, often miss important concepts and are not active, engaged, learners. (See contrasting definition of immersion.) Implementing Effective Instruction for English Language Learners by Suzanne Wagner and Tamara King

• The process of placing ELLs in a mainstream classroom where they do not receive any English as a second language (ESL), sheltered-content instruction, or primary language support. Also called “sink-or-swim.” Foundations for Teaching English Language Learners, second edition by Wayne E. Wright

substantial sheltered instruction methodology training

• Training in sheltered (or content-based) ESL that is similar to a graduate course, consisting of more than five all-day sessions at least one week apart so that participants can practice and reflect about what they have learned and practiced. The training should include how to adapt literacy instruction; implement multiple vocabulary-building strategies; use graphic, sensory and interactive supports to make information comprehensible; utilize ELLs’ languages, cultures and experiences in classroom activities; and learn ways to differentiate classroom tasks and assessments according to the ELLs’ diverse needs and English proficiency levels. Implementing Effective Instruction for English Language Learners by Suzanne Wagner and Tamara King

subtractive bilingualism

• The outcome of programs that focus on developing English skills, and in which students lose their native language as they learn English. In subtractive bilingual programs, any native language support is provided only until students achieve English proficiency. Contrasts with additive bilingualism. Teaching for Biliteracy by Karen Beeman and Cheryl Urow

• A process in which individuals lose all or some of their primary language abilities (and possibly culture) as they acquire a new language and culture. This occurs frequently in the case of language minority students who attend schools where no provision is made to maintain and develop their primary language (see additive bilingualism). Teaching Adolescent English Language Learners by Nancy Cloud, Judah Lakin, Erin Leininger, Laura Maxwell

• Acquisition of a second language that occurs at the expense of maintaining and developing the first language. Foundations for Multilingualism in Education by Ester de Jong

• The process by which or context in which a second language is learned, but at the expense of the first one. As a person becomes more proficient in the new language, proficiency in the first language diminishes, or worse, the person loses that first language altogether (contrast [[Caslon_Language_Education_Wikimedia_(A)#additive bilingualism]|additive bilingualism]]). English Language Learners at School by Else Hamayan and Rebecca Field

• The process describing the acquisition of a second language by an individual or group accompanied by loss or displacement of the first language. It is to be contrasted with additive bilingualism. Special Education Considerations for English Language Learners by Else Hamayan, Barbara Marler, Cristina Sánchez-López, and Jack Damico

• Describes the philosophy that second language learners need to exchange their primary language for their new language, English. Programs with this philosophy do not use the [[Caslon_Language_Education_Wikimedia_(N)#primary language|primary language] to support learning. In some cases, any use of the students’ language is discouraged. Implementing Effective Instruction for English Language Learners by Suzanne Wagner and Tamara King

• A situation in which a second language eventually replaces a student’s home language. Foundations for Teaching English Language Learners, second edition by Wayne E. Wright

successive language acquisition

• Acquisiton of a second language after first language acquistion (after age 3). Foundations for Multilingualism in Education by Ester de Jong

summative assessment(s)

• Assessment that occurs at the end of lessons or units to evaluate what students have learned. Teaching for Biliteracy by Karen Beeman and Cheryl Urow

• Assessments that are given periodically to determine what students know and are able to do at the end of instruction. Summative assessments are accountability measures, most typically state assessments, district benchmark assessments, and end-of-unit and end-of-semester examinations (see formative assessment). Teaching Adolescent English Language Learners by Nancy Cloud, Judah Lakin, Erin Leininger, Laura Maxwell

• The use of standard or standardized measures during a specified time frame, such as on an annual basis, that offers summary information on student performance or program effectiveness. Assessment and Accountability in Language Education Programs by Margo Gottlieb and Diep Nguyen

• Assessments that provide a summary of what students know and can do. Typically given at the end of a unit or at the end of a school year. Foundations for Teaching English Language Learners, second edition by Wayne E. Wright

sustained silent reading (SSR)

• A time dedicated to individual student reading. During this time, students are free to choose anything they want to read, including magazines, newspapers, and books on any subject and in either Spanish or English. Teaching for Biliteracy by Karen Beeman and Cheryl Urow

symmetrical bilingual

• A bilingual who has equal ability in both languages.

syntax

• Refers to word order within phrases and sentences (how phrases and sentences are constructed), and the rules that govern word order. Often paired with “grammar” to encompass the whole system of rules that describe a language. Teaching for Biliteracy by Karen Beeman and Cheryl Urow

• The study of the rules governing the relationships between words and the ways they are combined to form phrases and sentences. Foundations for Teaching English Language Learners, second edition by Wayne E. Wright

synthetic reading approaches

• A method to teach reading that moves from part to whole. These methods start with teaching children parts of words, such as letters and letter sounds. They commonly use letters, syllables, and letter sounds to build up to words. Biliteracy from the Start by Kathy Escamilla, Susan Hopewell, Sandra Butvilofsky, Wendy Sparrow, Lucinda Soltero-González, Olivia Ruiz-Figueroa, and Manuel Escamilla

systemic interventions

• Interventions designed to most appropriately address the challenges English language learners encounter in school. These interventions are generally applied system-wide, at the school or district level. It is possible that these systemic interventions may lead to policy changes that affect education at an even more extensive level.
