Quick tip! Your ELLs may interact well with classmates but be floundering academically. BICS (Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills) may be learned quickly. However, CALP (Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency) may take 5 to 10 years to acquire. If your students are unable to understand your language arts or social studies lessons, they have acquired BIC skills but lack CALP. from: http://www.everythingesl.net/ |
