We also practice fluency with the ELL students by role playing conversations. the students needed to practice English to develop accurate and understandable use of language so it's easier for the listener to Interpret the meaning. For some of the older students, an accent is unavoidable but, they can practice it to a certain extent where it is understandable. I told my students that it is normal to have an accent because most already people do, American English is also only one dialect of English, there are more. While speaking with the students I try to use simple words to get my messages across. Long messages with complicated words usually confuse them. The level of English proficiency in my tutoring center was more mixed up. Workshops are

Their English is the most proficient out of all the other ELL learners that I have encountered. Having lived in the United States for the past two years I assumed that they had enough times to practice their English to almost the same level as a native speaker. I learned English since I was 2 as my father spoke it to me and I had a British tutor. I started picking up American English when I was seven when I attended school here. Young Learners tend to pick up language faster and more efficiently than older people. American English has been stuck with me ever since, although I went to an English speaking school in Asia where my teachers were mostly Australian and British. Something about that period of brain development between elementary school and secondary school that makes it easy to learn a new languages and material, after that period the language is embedded in your head, unless you decide not to use …show more content…
To measure the success I am committed to helping my students learn until they are confident and comfortable with the language. I will continue to see them regularly since I am committed to the program and people. I feel most that I have grown as a person after spending a lot of time with the refugees and their children. They told me stories of how some of them have waited five to ten years in a camp just to come to America for a better life. Some told me that they still have family in their home countries waiting to come. Fathers who can not see their children grow, siblings who are separated, it made me appreciate my life and all the things I have. All these interactions made me a more open minded person and brought me so much closer to them. I care very deeply about them and will always cherish these memories. The struggle that they go through just to get here, and adapting is very hard. As a person, I want to do and help as many ppl as I can with my life, and I have made that my purpose. I already knew that I want to be a teacher and volunteer in places where education cannot be offered. I believe that education should not come with a piece, that good education is not is privilege, but an accessibility for those who need and want it. Overall, this experience has motivate me and lead me to believe that this is my purpose in life, and it is what I am meant to
