say something; say something/write something
- 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
scaffolding
- A guided learning technique in which teachers modify the language demands placed on students to match the language level of students and add other supports to their verbal instruction (scaffolds) that enhance communication, such as visuals, hands-on learning, and high levels of interaction to insure understanding (see sheltered instruction). Teaching Adolescent English Language Learners by Nancy Cloud, Judah Lakin, Erin Leininger, Laura Maxwell
- Support or assistance provided to a student within his or her zone of proximal development by a more knowledgeable other (e.g., teacher, peer) to help the student learn a new concept or develop new skills. Foundations for Teaching English Language Learners, second edition by Wayne E. Wright
second language
- A language learned at a later stage than the native language. Foundations for Multilingualism in Education by Ester de Jong
self-assessment
- Students’ monitoring and analysis of their work in which they reflect on their strategies, products, and processes of learning. Assessment and Accountability in Language Education Programs by Margo Gottlieb and Diep Nguyen
- Students’ assessment of their own performance, typically guided by a checklist or rubric. Foundations for Teaching English Language Learners, second edition by Wayne E. Wright
self-contained second language programs
- Full-time programs for minority language speakers to teach content and the dominant language. Foundations for Multilingualism in Education by Ester de Jong
semantic extension
- A characteristic of Spanish in the United States; the expansion of the original meaning of Spanish words to include the meaning of a similar English word (e.g., “groserías”–groceries; “carpeta”–carpet). Teaching for Biliteracy by Karen Beeman and Cheryl Urow
semantics
- Study of the meanings of words, especially the differences in word meanings based on context. Teaching for Biliteracy by Karen Beeman and Cheryl Urow
- The study of the meaning of words, phrases, and sentences. Foundations for Teaching English Language Learners, second edition by Wayne E. Wright
semilingualism
- Pejorative term to describe what is considered limited skills in two languages. Foundations for Multilingualism in Education by Ester de Jong
sentence prompt (frase clave)
- A few words provided by the teacher to give students the structure of the language so they can use language appropriately as they participate in a learning activity. Teaching for Biliteracy by Karen Beeman and Cheryl Urow

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

- The process through which a language learner first acquires one language and later acquires a second or additional language; this stands in contrast to the notion of simultaneous language acquisition. English Language Learners at School by Else Hamayan and Rebecca Field
- 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. Biliteracy from the Start by Kathy Escamilla, Susan Hopewell, Sandra Butvilofsky, Wendy Sparrow, Lucinda Soltero-González, Olivia Ruiz-Figueroa, and Manuel Escamilla
- Reading instruction in which the teacher reads a big book or other source of enlarged text with the students, modeling a variety of reading strategies and using the text (once it is familiar to the students) to teach reading skills. Foundations for Teaching English Language Learners, second edition by Wayne E. Wright
- 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

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

- Instruction that is adapted for second language learners by the use of visuals, hands-on learning, and other strategies that make instruction in the second language more comprehensible. Foundations for Multilingualism in Education by Ester de Jong
- Another term for sheltered instruction, preferred in California and other states because it places emphasis on the fact that such instruction is academically rigorous but specially designed to match the linguistic needs of the student. Foundations for Teaching English Language Learners, second edition by Wayne E. Wright
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 between teachers, student. 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 guide of the teacher and parents, set new goals. Assessment and Accountability in Language Education Programs by Margo Gottlieb and Diep Nguyen
submersion
- 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

summative assessment
- 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
