ELL355 ELL/355 ELL 355 Week 2 Discussion 2/DQ 2 The Silent Period -NEW The Silent Period In Unit V, we begin to
see the first glimpse of what a silent period looks like. Harkening back to the video in Week One, we find that the silent
period should not be a time of great concern for the learner. Instead, we find out that the silent period is a natural part of
the language acquisition process. It is a time where comprehensible input is supremely valued by the learner. However,
Unit VI presents the development of academic language with conversational techniques. How can a teacher provide
support to a learner for academic language/content when the student is still in the silent period? Scenario: Imagine you
are a high school teacher and Jane (from another country) is your student. She is new, and she does not talk a lot. You
have a lesson plan ready to go (pick your topic) and you want to be sure Jane gets an opportunity to learn with her
classmates. One of the standards/objectives you are teaching has to do with learning academic concepts using
subject-specific terms. How could you provide support for Jane?s academic language/content during her silent period?
Feel free to connect your personal experience(s) to your response and the text. Guided Response: Read your
classmates? responses and provide feedback on what they presented. If you have a recommendation, please provide it
along with research to back up your statements. If you have no further recommendations, provide research to further
support their ideas. Respond to someone who has not received feedback, and continue the conversation with others
who you wish to inspire or connect with.
