On October 14th, 2015 I conducted an oral interview with a 12th grade student named Maria in Lakeland at Mckeel Academy of Technology. This interview took place at approximately 10:15 am and lasted 2 minutes. I asked Maria what has helped her most in learning English. She replied watching TV and listening to music in English and speaking with fluent English speakers. Next I asked Maria what teachers could do to help English language learners more in the classroom. She explained that speaking slowly and more in depth of what the expectations of the students were would help the process go a little smoother. Then I asked Maria what she wished teachers would not do. Her response was that she wished teachers would not talk so fast or use big words.
