    As I previously stated, I come from an average middle class family so I never was in the shoes of a culturally and linguistically diverse student. From the stories of my peers and what I have learned in ESL courses, this relationship is arguably the most important in an ESL student’s educational career. The attitude of a teacher can either greatly aid in building the student’s confidence and seal their path to success, as was the case with Robert in Literacy con Cariño, or can greatly deter a child from ever wanting to risk the possible failure that comes with learning a new…

    For the article "Internationalized Canadian Campus," Dr. Friesen and Dr. Keeney criticized Canadian ESL students for higher education, satirizing international students and the Canadian government. I do not agree with the author's opinion because the author is too one-sided. Nowadays, more and more students choose to study abroad, universities and intermediaries try to attract students from other countries. Resulting in Dr. Friesen and Dr. Keeney that most ESL students are not prepared for university courses. However, the facts are completely different.…

    This book did not really hit home for me until I went to Cesar Chaves Elementary School. I saw first hand how evident these ideas of “playing school” and holding students back from expressing their cultural identity. This belittles the student in the classroom, telling them that their culture is not as important as “white culture” creating a bigger divide between students and the administration team of schools. To help bridge that gap, students should have a safe place to practice their first learned language in some way in the classroom.…

    However, in my opinion, the security and comfort of a new ELL student is a great component to an ELL student’s successful second language acquisition as well as cultural transition. In the cases of Mawi, Questzal, and Rodriguez, they came from two separate countries, but they were all raised in a culture of fear, and this fear needs to be addressed in order to ensure success in a classroom setting. In short, a student must be made to feel comfortable in his/her environment and establish a variety of support systems to feel safe in school. Once this feeling of comfort and safety is reached, the student will be more motivated to become a part of community and work towards English language…

    Since the 1970s, Canada has been internationally recognized for adopting a political culture of multiculturalism. Canada’s national identity is also perceived by the society and by the government as being culturally diverse. This is due to the vast amount of different cultures that reside in Canada other than the Aboriginal peoples and Caucasian people. People not of aboriginal or Caucasian descent are understood as the visible minorities which make up approximately 19 percent of Canada’s population. To put in perspective, 1 in 5 Canadians identifies as a member of a visible minority and in the province of Ontario, 1 in 4 (Cochrane, Blidook, Dyck, 2017).…

    Chapter 23 talks about the language diversity and how it impacts ELL students. In 2025, there are 20-25% of immigrants enrolled in school that doesn’t speak English. Most of the immigrant workers doesn’t speak English, have low paying jobs and live in poverty. Since the number of immigrants are growing, there are instructional programs including; ESL, transitional bilingual education, maintenance bilingual education, dual-language programs, and submersion.

    According to “Supporting Linguistically and Culturally Diverse Learners in English Education” it states that I would slow down my speech and use shorter sentences when teaching a lesson or communicating. I would avoid expressions that are commonly used on a day to day bases. I would also use think-pair-share when asking questions because this will give time for ELLs to communicate with other students and brainstorm together. Another good strategy would be using bilingual handouts and use metaphors when comparing and contrasting. The instructional opportunities that would encourage ELL’s home language as a foundation to support the development of phonics and phonological awareness in English is to incorporate their home language and culture into the lesson plans.…

    The problem for foreign language education in the United States is there is an unanswered need for comprehensive bilingual studies focused on practical conversation. The United States has been regarded as a dominant power in the global economy. However, the Chinese economy is predicted to overcome the U.S. economy in size after 2030, and Latin America and South Asia are growing as well (Council of Foreign Relations). In addition, while there are 527 million English speakers worldwide; there are also 1.39 billion Chinese, 467 million Arabic, 588 million Hindu-Urdu, and 389 million Spanish speakers in the world (Washington Post). Evidently, a new solution is necessary to respond to the language requirements of an ever increasing global economy.…

    Russ Rymer, distinguished author and freelance journalist, describes in his article Vanishing Voices the threat of a dominant culture in a region eliminating minority cultures and languages through the rapid rise of globalization and technology (Rymer, 2012, pg. 6). The minority population of second generation children in Canada and the United States also face a bicultural identity crisis as a result of being submerged in a different dominant culture in which their old heritage culture (HC) world and new Western world clash. Although there are socioeconomic factors that affect the degree of assimilation, many second generation immigrants experience an awkward situation where they either feel like a foreigner in a dominant Western culture or a Westerner who looks like a foreigner. The American immigration and education policies, where language and culture homogenize, contribute to this identity crisis and impact the psyche of especially second generation youth striving to fit in. The Canadian…
