OA Study Guide D662 – Personalized Learning for
Inclusive Classrooms
1.) True or False:
Students with differing linguistic needs automatically qualify for special
education services.
*False*
2.) What are the Instructional Models to help English Learners?
Sheltered English Instruction – Helps EL students understand academic
lessons in English using activities, visuals, and simplified language; teachers
focus on teaching subjects like math and science
Structured English Immersion – Designed to help EL students learn English for
success in English-only classes, with teachers trained to support EL students; EL
students learn all subjects in English, aiming for quick fluency in the language
Transitional Bilingualism - Uses both the student's primary language and
English for instruction, helping them maintain skills in both languages while
transitioning to English-only classes
English as a Second Language - Teaches EL students English language skills,
like speaking, reading, and writing, mainly using English with little support in the
student's native language
Dual Language Program - Helps students learn in both English and another
language, such as Spanish, to become biliterate and proficient in both languages
across various subjects
3.) True or False:
According to Krashen, grammar instruction is vitally important for ELs.
*False*
4.) What are the Instructional Strategies by Language Stage?
, Pre-Production: Listening, absorbing
Early Production: Simple Language (Yes/No), Pointing at pictures as answers,
small group discussions or in pairs.
Speech Emergent: Introduce new academic vocabulary, Provide visuals and
connect background knowledge. Ask questions that require short answers.
Beginning Fluency: Facilitate Agreement/disagreement, pose questions that
require responses with explanations, encourage inference and justification of
answers.
Intermediate Fluency: Create assessments where students can discuss in pairs
after presenting to class, identify key vocabulary, graphic organizers, introduce
idioms and discuss usage.
Advanced Fluency: Demonstrate effective note taking and provide templates.
Provide error correction on academic work and oral language. Work on fine
tuning language skills.
5.) What should a teacher do to foster a culturally responsive classroom?

7.) What is the main difference between "acquisition" and "learning" in Krashen's
theory?
*Acquisition is subconscious, like how children learn their first language,
while learning involves conscious knowledge about the language. *
8.) Which of the following statements best describes giftedness?
*Giftedness is a brain-based difference contributing to diverse
perspectives and abilities.
9.) How can educators benefit from understanding the traits of gifted learners?
*By creating inclusive classrooms tailored to individual strengths and
