One of the biggest concerns I found in the reading is how ELL student will be neglected until the teachers sense the students are linguistically ready for instruction. Students should never be neglected.

One of the most interesting research finds was that there was not a significant difference in understanding with respect to language diversity. Class that were created to help students understand and become more aware of the issue did not seem to make that much of a difference according to the findings. Students who were in upper level courses were eager to work with Ells compared to students in lower level courses.

When thinking about all the different layers that come with teach English Language Learners it makes creating lesson plans more challenging. Becoming a teacher is not going to be easy these challenges such as being flexible and changing your lesson plan will be a big part in making your classroom feel comfortable to all of your students. I feel like I know many teaching assessments, but developing a lesson plan for English Language Learners seems like a challenging task(As a teacher we will have to continue to grow). I believe it is going to be important to identify your English Language Learners needs, so the first few lesson plans will be difficult and with time creating the lesson plan will become an easier task. It will become easier because you know your students and know how be change your lesson plan to make the right

    Some ELLs have a higher English proficiency than others, so it would not be beneficial for them to be working on the same activities.

    Before starting this assignment I thought that it would not be an issue when finding two teachers that have had an ELL student. This was not the case because I had trouble finding two teachers that had taught an ELL student and I believe it was because we live in an area that does not have many ELL students. After asking a few teachers their experiences with working with ELL students, I finally found two teachers that both gave me a great answers to the interview questions. The first teacher I interviewed had an experience in two different placements in Ottumwa. She had the opportunity to work with lower and upper grades, which she said were very different experiences.…

    This failure occurs because some programs in the U.S. aim to provide ELLs sufficient English language skills that allows them to communicate with classmates and teachers and to work with the curriculum (Baker, 2011). However, the ELLs’ cognitive academic language proficiency has not been developed adequately to manage the demands of the curriculum (Baker, 2011). Baker (2011) writes that what Cummins considers essential in the bilingual education of ELLs is that the ‘Common Underlying Proficiency’ be well developed either in the first or second language, or in both languages…
