My action plan includes four areas:
1. Classroom Environment- My plan is to make sure that I create an optimal language envrionment for my ELL students. I will make sure that student feels comfortable and that he or she has a classroom buddy. I teach college level so I will make sure that I use more cooperative learning activities so my ELL students are exposed to using the language more.
2. Assignments- I will make sure that I modify my assigments for the ELL learners and that I explain directions and ensure that students have understood'
3. Assessment- I will use other forms of assessment for my ELL students such as oral presentations, journals, and give students more time to take tests. I will also make sure that students understand the directions.
4. Cultural Awareness- I will try to learn more about my students native language and culture as well as incorporate teaching about the Anglo culture.
