I learned that everyone, just not students, get bored doing the same thing repetitively. In order to better engage the students, I need to vary my teaching style and use multiple resources. 

I learned that ELL students should not be looked down upon becuase of their lack of english but celebrated for their differences. As a teacher, I need to recognize that their background whether it be nationality, religion, or culture, will play a significant role in their education. 

I learned that you need to be aware of the vocabulary you use and adjust assignments to better assist ELL students.

I learned that you should not look down on ELL students. Just because they come from another country or do not speak english, does not mean they do not understand what you are saying. 

I learned that students from other countries not only face the same difficulties as other students but also additional ones as well. They could be homesick or worried about mispeaking in class. 

This module helped me realize how coming from a different culture can impact how you learn.
