How many components and features are there in the SIOP model?
8/30

Comprehensible Input — written as i+1
The historical, cultural, and practical skills, knowledge bases, and resources that families and communities possess and pass down. Multilingual learners bring this into the classroom.
Funds of Knowledge
This is the smallest unit of sound that can change meaning in a language.

A linguistic practice, and a pedagogical approach in which bilingual or multilingual individuals fluidly use their entire, integrated linguistic repertoire
Translanguaging
Ship" and "sheep" are an example of this — two words that differ by only one phoneme, used as a powerful ESL pronunciation tool.
Minimal Pair
This popular structured discussion strategy pairs students to share ideas before reporting to the whole class.
Think-Pair-Share
The language objective is
how they will show what they learned

1-2 years
The word "unhappiness" contains this many morphemes
3
The set of rules that determines how words and phrases are arranged to form well-structured sentences
syntax

Speech Emergence
This early SLA theory, associated with Fries & Lado, views language learning as habit formation through repetition, imitation, and reinforcement.
Behaviorism
The sounds /p/, /b/, and /m/ are produced using both lips. This place of articulation is called this.
bilabial
This term describes the harmful practice of stripping students' first language to force assimilation which actually erodes identity and hinders academic growth.
Subtractive Bilingualism

Initiate- Respond - Evaluate
Structured prompts like "I believe ___ because ___" are an example of this scaffolding strategy that supports language output.
