• I've had experience with people from diverse cultural and lingusitic backgrounds. My family, friends, co-workers all contribute to this area.
• I don't experience working with ELLs in schools as of yet, but I tutor on the side and I had a child who didn't know how to speak or write English, so I had to help him with those skills.
•No, I do not have experience in teaching ELLs.
• I feel that ELLs motivates and encourages students because they get more one-on-one attention. The teachers needs to instill confidents in his/her students because they need to feel proud of themselves inorder to succeed.
• Students who don't know English can easily fall behind in their classes. This carries over to all the subjects in school.
• Again, I haven't had direct experience during my observations yet, but I would imagine the teachers to work closely with the students till they show understanding. They could provide extra reading material aside from the class's work as a strategy, along with emphasizing confidence in their work in-order to increase their self-esteem because they can easily fall along the sidelines. It is very important to reach out to the family for them to be aware of what the situation is like, so they can address it and work along side the students for encouragement and support.
