Assessment Description  

Teachers need a variety of resources to support students in developing a better command of linguistic knowledge, word order, and an understanding of language in context.
Add information on syntax, semantics, and pragmatics to your digital toolkit as they apply to the teaching of ELLs.

For each language structure (syntax, semantics, pragmatics) include the following:

• A one-sentence definition of the language structure.
• At least 2-3 sentences explaining why the language structure is important for language and academic learning for ELLs.
• Four classroom activities to support the development of the language structure and a brief explanation of how the activities can be differentiated for ELLs at various language proficiencies.
• One at-home activity and a website link for families to assist with the development of the language structure at home. Include a 2-3 sentence explanation of how the at-home activity can address the various English language proficiencies of ELLs.

In addition, create a separate list in your digital toolkit that includes the following:

• At least five resources (e.g., journal articles, videos, books, podcasts) that provide additional professional development and knowledge in the teaching and learning of English language structures
• Citations for each resource (Note: These are separate from your scholarly resources.)

Support your digital toolkit with a minimum of three scholarly resources.

Submit the resources and a link to your digital toolkit in a single document.

While APA Style format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines.
