ECS 580 Topic 1 Speech and Language Development
Speech and language development is integral for future
learning success. It is the educators’ responsibility to recognize milestones
in learning and to differentiate developmental delays from learning English as
a second language. Early intervention, especially in hearing and sight, leads to
higher likelihood of success in the students’ education.
In a 1,000-1,250 word essay, address the following
related to the speech and language development of children:
- Briefly discuss development of written language and spoken
language.
- Describe how developmental delays or disabilities can affect
children’s speech and language development.
- Describe how culture, family background, and bilingual language
development can affect children’s speech and language development.
- Describe three strategies that can be used to enhance children’s
speech and language development.
- Provide an example of how the three strategies
described above could be modified to address the unique needs of ESL
students and students with speech impairments.
Support your essay with 3-5 scholarly resources.

ECS 580 Topic 2 Literacy Lesson Plan
Reading and writing are reciprocal learning processes.
Using these skills interchangeably in a classroom promotes language
development.
Using the “COE Lesson Plan Template,” create a literacy
lesson plan that demonstrates the reciprocity between reading and writing. Base
the lesson upon one reading and one writing ELA standard from your state, and
the students in your field experience classroom.
In the Summary section of your lesson plan, briefly
explain why it is important to teach explicit literacy skills and how you will
connect and extend these learning progressions in the home.
In the Differentiation section, identify specific
researched-based support strategies for one student with exceptionalities and
tie the strategy to the lesson. For example, if students are learning how to write
the letter T, provide a dotted letter T for students who struggle with writing,
or provide a pencil grip for students struggling to hold a pencil. As an
example, use students from your field experience classroom who are receiving
special education services. (Please do not use children’s real names to protect
confidentiality.) For clarification, explain the delay or disability on the
lesson plan.

Embedding literacy development in the classroom is an
important element of a students’ comprehension and retention of the content.
Educators should be cognizant of students who are hesitant to speak in front of
their peers or, on the other hand, overzealous in their speech. Presentations
are one way educators can encourage speech, while instilling good listening
skills in the students.
Review the lesson plan you created from Topic 2 or Topic
3 and select one lesson to revise. In your revision, include at least one
listening and speaking standard from your state’s ELA standards, and a speaking
skills activity that requires the students to speak or present to the class at
some point during the lesson. The lesson plan should also provide support for
students who are hesitant to present in front of their classmates. Take into
consideration the school’s socioeconomic level, culture, and overall climate
when designing the activity.
In the Differentiation section, identify support
strategies that could be used to assist an ESL student and a student with a
speech and mild cognitive impairment.
