According to the most recent Census Bureau data, languages spoken other than English at home is at an all time high. More than one in five school aged children in the United States speak another language at home. As a result, educators encounter these children each day without knowing. Although a student may not be classified as an ESL/ENL/ELL, doesn't mean that they aren’t an English language learner. Aren't we all? As educators, it is our responsibility to meet the needs of our students. Despite the updates in terminology for students that speak other languages, now more than ever, the needs of students have become more than academic. Consequently, it becomes crucial that teachers adapt to their needs the same way we require students to adapt to their school, classmates, a variety of teaching styles, and diverse classroom environments. Strategies for academic and social success will be examined thoroughly to help your ELL and ESL students feel “at home” in your classroom. Instructional techniques, parent communication, testing, and language learning will be studied using a variety of resources and activities. Participants in this class will step away from the computer with a thorough understanding of the cultural, emotional, behavioral, social, and linguistic barriers these children face each day, and put instructional practices to work. You'll be amazed how the strategies you learn will help ALL students in your class achieve success. |
