Devise a language game or communication activity that is informed by language acquisition theory and integrates listening
The most effective strategies, approaches, and methods for teaching ELLs are supported by language acquisition theories. English language acquisition can be promoted by understanding language as an interconnected system and by integrating the discourse and rhetorical structures of ELLs within instruction.
For this assignment, you will devise a language game or communication activity that is informed by language acquisition theory and integrates listening, speaking, reading, and writing for a grade level within grades K-12.
For your chosen grade level, select a standard from the Arizona English Language Arts (ELA) and a corresponding standard from the Arizona English Language Proficiency (ELP) to be included within this game or activity. Create at least one learning objective for your game or activity that is aligned with your chosen ELA and ELP standards.
Within a 500-750 word submission, include the following:
The ELA and ELP standards as well as the learning objective(s) to be addressed within your game or activity
A complete explanation of the game or activity and how it would be carried out in an educational setting
A list of the materials needed for your game or activity
A brief description of at least one language acquisition theory and how it informed the design of your game or activity
A brief definition of phonetics, phonology, morphology, lexicon, semantics, syntax, and pragmatics. Additionally, include a description of how each of these elements relate to the verbal and written exercises within your game or activity.
Support your submission with at least three scholarly resources.
