Poet) Christopher Marlowe)

The son of a shoemaker, Marlowe was born two months before Shakespeare. A great wit and a 

precocious talent, he won scholarships first into King's School, Canterbury, and later into Corpus College, Cambridge where he received his Batchelor of Arts degree in 1583 and his Master of Arts in 1587. He joined a company of actors called the Admiral's Men who brought his first great play, Tamburlaine the Great (1587), to the stage. Its success inspired him to follow up with Part Two of the play a year l..

. He joined the secret diplomatic service whilst continuing to write such great plays as Dr Faustus and The Jew of Malta. His plays dealt with the corruption of power (as in Tamburlaine), of knowledge (as in Faustus), and of money as in the Jew)

When a plague caused London theatres to close in 1592, he went and lived with a patron, Thomas Walsingham, under whose brother he had worked as a secret agent. He was suspected of atheistic and blasphemous writings and was still being investigated by the London privy council when he died. He had been gambling at backgammon in a Deptford tavern with three other men when one of them stabbed him fatally after a quarrel. He was twenty-nine.

PRINCIPLES OF LEARNING FOR ENGLISH LEARNERS

Principle 1:  All English Language Learners are capable of learning to high 

standards if optimal teaching and a supportive environment are provided.

Principle 2: Learning is a process of apprenticeship in which novices become 

experts with scaffolding from the teacher or more capable peer. 

Principle 3: Language is acquired through social  interactions that are engaging, 

meaningful, and purposeful. 

Principle 4: Teaching/learning needs to be responsive. Cultural norms and 

expectations for effective participation in mainstream social and academic life need 

to be explicitly taught to English Learners. 

Principle 5: Using language is more than using correct grammar and vocabulary. It 

requires cultural knowledge of what is appropriate and  an understanding of 

discourse. 

Principle 6: Use of rituals or familiar participation structures is necessary when 

concepts of language are novel (new).  Familiar concepts and familiar language  

(i.e., L1) can serve as the vehicle to learn new rituals or ways  of participating in 

academic events. 

Principle 7: Language learning requires conscious effort by the student, and by the 

informed support (scaffold) of the teacher. 

Principle 8: Students should be encouraged to  engage all of their resources, 

including their native language, in the learning of English as a second language. 

Principle 9: In instruction, the content must be rich and challenging, the language 

must move beyond the sentence level to approximate natural discourse, and the 

teaching must be carefully scaffolded. 

Principle 10: Academic practices, learning and self-assessment strategies need to 

be explicitly taught to English Language learners. 

Principle 11: Instruction, curriculum, and assessments are aligned to reflect high 

standards and best practices

. 

Principle 12: All parents can become successful partners in the education of 

English learners by continuing to support the development of the first language
