A middle school ESL teacher is beginning a multidisciplinary thematic unit about tropical rain forests with developing-level English language learners.

The teacher has decorated the classroom with realia related to a rain forest, such as artificial tropical trees and pictures of tropical animals, and has labeled objects with content-area vocabulary related to the rain forest. The teacher wears safari attire and plays a recording of sounds from a rain forest. This use of realia best demonstrates the teacher's understanding of how to:
  1. Facilitate content learning by lowering English language learners' affective filters.
  2. Connect content to English language learners' personal experiences.
  3. Scaffold English language learners' comprehension of content-area concepts.
  4. Contextualize content for English language learners.

Use the information below to answer the question that follow.

A middle school ESL teacher is beginning a multidisciplinary thematic unit about tropical rain forests with developing-level English language learners.

The teacher introduces the rain-forest unit by reading aloud the picture book The Great Kapok Tree, a story in which animals of the Amazon rain forest convince a man not to cut down a native kapok tree. This use of literature as part of sheltered content instruction promotes the English language learners' content learning primarily by:
  1. Scaffolding their use of cognitive learning strategies.
  2. Building their knowledge of content-specific vocabulary.
  3. Developing their cognitive-academic language proficiency.
  4. Exposing them to content-specific language structures.
