English Language Development Standards for Grade 7

Section 1: Goal, Critical Principles, and Overview

Goal: English learners read, analyze, interpret, and create a variety of literary and informational text types. They develop an understanding of how language is a
complex, dynamic, and social resource for making meaning, as well as how content is organized in different text types and across disciplines using text structure,
language features, and vocabulary depending on purpose and audience. They are aware that different languages and variations of English exist, and they recognize their
home languages and cultures as resources to value in their own right and also to draw upon in order to build proficiency in English. English learners contribute actively
to class and group discussions, asking questions, responding appropriately, and providing useful feedback. They demonstrate knowledge of content through oral
presentations, writing, collaborative conversations, and multimedia. They develop proficiency in shifting language use based on task, purpose, audience, and text type.

Critical Principles for Developing Language and Cognition in Academic Contexts: While advancing along the continuum of English language development levels,
English learners at all levels engage in intellectually challenging literacy, disciplinary, and disciplinary literacy tasks. They use language in meaningful and relevant ways
appropriate to grade level, content area, topic, purpose, audience, and text type in English language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, and the arts.
Specifically, they use language to gain and exchange information and ideas in three communicative modes (collaborative, interpretive, and productive), and they apply
knowledge of language to academic tasks via three crossmode language processes (structuring cohesive texts, expanding and enriching ideas, and connecting and
condensing ideas) using various linguistic resources.

* The California English Language Development Standards correspond to Californias Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts (ELA) and, for grades 612, Literacy in
History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects. English learners should have full access to and opportunities to learn ELA, mathematics, science, history/social studies, and other
content at the same time they are progressing toward full proficiency in English.

Note: Examples provided in specific standards are offered only as illustrative possibilities and should not be misinterpreted as the only objectives of instruction or as the only types of
language English learners might or should be able to understand or produce.
