Learners

Using a range of sources such as academic and reflective journals, wider reading and my own personal perspective it will provide a broad view to critically evaluate factors that are important for a teacher and learner. Firstly, one factor that I believe is important is a teacher’s values, attitudes, beliefs and expectations. Each teacher will interpret and implement these morals differently which will affect children’s learning. As a result of the Principles of Learning and Teaching session I…

and 2 teachers • Age range of the children: Seven to Eight years old • Gender Balance: 8 girls and 11 boys • Linguistic and Ethnic diversity: Unfortunately there is little linguistic or ethnic diversity in this class. There are no English Language Learners in the class. As far as ethnic diversity, one student is half Chinese, one student is half Japanese, and one student is half Mexican. One student speaks some Spanish that was learned when she lived in Arizona. • Differentiated needs: In this…

freshman year. As to this day, getting a 3.11-grade point average has affected me in both positive and negative ways. One characteristic that I figured out about myself is that I am a person who learns from mistakes due to the fact that I am a tactile learner. I can picture my fifteen-year-old self, sitting in the yellow painted classroom on the second floor of Magnificat High School playing Slither.io on my laptop rather than be taking notes for the exam I would have in a few days. Twirling…

I wanted to further my research on English Language Learning students and their education because I plan to teach in a very diverse state and I want to be able to teach all of them to the best of my ability. English Language Learners are students learning English as their second language. There are many ways a teacher can accommodate this student. They could give the student their test in a native language, they could have all of the notes translated into their native language…

As I reflected on the assignment from week two’s annotations, I chose two topics of interest: student attendance and English Language Learners (ELL). I selected the articles not only to deepen my understanding about the topics, but to enhance my knowledge about quantitative and qualitative methodologies. The purpose of this assignment is to compare and contrast my two selected articles and use the guiding questions from Exhibit 6.1. In blanks’ article, “Title,” there are a number of factors…

such as Mexico and Sudan, where these are questions that children ask themselves every day. Accordingly, I began to ask myself the question what different aspects of a daily classroom routine that might prove to be challenging for English Language Learners due to cultural mismatches or misunderstandings in terms of their feelings of comfort and security while at school. I came upon…

One’s native language is a foundation for future leaning. If we think of language development as the concrete foundation of a building, it makes sense that it needs to be strong to sustain the stress of many tons of building materials that will be erected on top of it (Nieto, S., & Bode, P.,2008). As a Puerto Rican teacher, teaching in the United States to Spanish speakers and native English speakers it is important to know each students background, especially its culture and home language.…

AL-Farabi The teacher and the learner: AL-Farabi claims that in order for an individual to become a teacher he must have be of good character, and seeking only the truth. And that none shall be employed except those who are trained in the logical arts. Other characters that should be in a specified teacher are: The mastery of his own art and its rules, the ability to demonstrate all that could be demonstrated, and to guard any distortions that could intrude his art. Al-Farabi is at odds…

Throughout America, there are thousands of schools in which English Language Learners are enrolled each year. Because of the variety of cultural backgrounds and increasing number of immigrant children, schools across America have been working to create effective English Language Learner programs that meet the needs of these students. There are a variety of service models that have been adopted by these schools, and each models has its own strengths and weaknesses. In the local area, there are…

English Language Learner Interview Being born and raised in America, I never had to struggle to learn or speak the English language like my co-worker Sabina Dominguez. She was born in Mexico and came to America with her family when she was eight years old. They didn’t have special classes for ELL students thirty-five years ago, so she had to learn with help from her teachers and her friends. Sabina entered the third grade class in Yuma, Colorado. She didn’t have any friends yet and she was…
