I appreciated how English language learners were mentioned in chapter 5 of Classrooms That Work. Being a Spanish speaker myself, I could relate to what the book said about difficulty with vowels. I clearly remember being confused about Is and Es because of the sounds. I would have to stop and think before writing or saying my answers. This could have really affected my performance if teachers were not patient with me. I was fortunate enough to have teachers who did not give up on me. With their help, I was able to catch up with peers in no time. I liked that this was mentioned in the book because it reminds teachers that all students have diverse learning needs and teachers must be prepared to work with them.How would you adjust activities to help English language learners?
What helps ELLs best? Individualized attention or peer tutoring?
