  2. Pair-Share • Discuss this question: What challenges are teacher candidates having when writing a language objective? • Jot down your ideas

  3. Objectives • Content Objectives are the: • Language Objectives are the: What? How? • Purpose: tell what students will know or do • Links to state standards • Purpose Tells how students will perform the task using which language forms/key vocabulary

  4. Some Basic Forms of Language • Subject-verb agreement • The frog are amphibian. • Igneous rocks comes from volcanoes. • Use of the “s” • Possessive (apostrophes) • Plural • Parts of speech • Nouns/verbs • Adjectives/adverbs

  5. Tense • Present, past, future • Basic verbs – to be, to have, to like, to see • I/you/w/they/have, he/she/it has • I/you/he/she/we/they had • I/you/he/she/we/they will have • Punctuation • Structure • Topic sentences • Main points • Purpose (persuasive, descriptive…)

  6. Letter sounds, pronunciation • Complete sentences • Hold students accountable for basic sentence structure • Word order • Transition words • Modals (should, would, could) • Idioms

  7. Language Functions Summarize Rephrase Discuss Elaborate Predict Compose Choose Develop • Define • Describe • Identify • Label • Name • Spell • Compare • Contrast • Explain

  8. What are the 5 essential parts of a language objective? LBC2E (Sanford, 2011) • Learner & Date • Behavior – clearly defined, observable behavior (state the form or key vocabulary) • Condition under which student will perform the behavior • Criterion – performance level required to achieve mastery of the goal • Evaluation Schedule – frequency of assessment

  9. Common Core State Standards • Reading Standards: Literature • 3.RL • Key Ideas and Details • 3.RL.2 Recount stories, including fables, folktales, and myths from diverse cultures; determine the central message, lesson, or moral and explain how it is conveyed through key details in the text.

  10. Steps to Language Goal • What is the linguistic demand? • Recount stories • What is the language function (purpose)? • Retell • What is the language form needed to perform the function? • Past tense verbs • What key vocabulary will used? • Taken from stories

  11. LBC2E • Learner & Date • Behavior – clearly defined, observable behavior (state the form or key vocabulary) • Condition under which student will perform the behavior • Criterion – performance level required to achieve mastery of the goal • Evaluation Schedule – frequency of assessment • Write an ideal and linguistically appropriate (for the students’ language proficiency level) response. Example: First, there was a girl named Red Riding Hood who had a sick grandmother. Next, she took food to her grandmother. Then, a bad wolf pretended to be the grandmother and wanted to eat Red Riding Hood. Finally, a woodsman saved her. • Next, right a language frame. Language Frame: • By (date) (learner) will (behavior/function) using (language form) as measured by ______ with (criterion). • Example: By (date) (learner) will orally retell a culturally appropriate myth using first,next, then, finally and past tense verbs in four complete sentences as measured by teacher checklist. • NOTE: Be sure to consider students’ language proficiency levels when constructing language goals.

  12. Common Core State Standards • Reading Standards: Literature • 3.RL • Key Ideas and Details • 3.RL.3 Describe characters in a story (e.g., their traits, motivations, or feelings) and explain how their actions contribute to the sequence of events.

  13. Steps to Language Goal • What is the linguistic demand? • describe characters • explain their actions • What is the language function (purpose) • describe • explain • What is the language form needed to perform the function? • nouns, pronouns, adjectives • verb forms, indicative verb, declarative sentences, complex sentences, adverbs of manner • What key vocabulary will used? • Taken from stories

  14. LBC2E • Learner & Date • Behavior – clearly defined, observable behavior (state the form or key vocabulary) • Condition under which student will perform the behavior • Criterion – performance level required to achieve mastery of the goal • Evaluation Schedule – frequency of assessment • Write an ideal and linguistically appropriate (for the students’ language proficiency level) response. Example: Cinderella was a happy girl. The stepmother was mean. The stepsisters were selfish. • Then, write a languageframe. Language Frame: By (date) (learner) will (behavior/function) using (language form) with (criterion) as measured by ______. • Example: By (date) (learner) will describe two characters from a story using adjectives to describe either a positive or negative trait in complete sentences as measured by teacher checklist. NOTE: Be sure to consider students’ language proficiency levels when constructing language goals.
