Many students struggle with learning disabilities, including understanding English. By using a diverse learning approach, this will not only assist those students with diverse learning needs but will help all students to learn in various manners. Some students have difficulty reading and some with writing.
In this section of the training, we discussed ELL students. One thing that I liked being pointed out was that although we need to meet learners at their level, we cannot reduce the content that we are supposed to be teaching. It is required so that they can be successful at either the next class or in their career. I also like how it pointed out that the way we might be teaching ELL students (like a breakdown of vocabulary), may benefit all students, such as those with lower levels in reading.
Great information on how to assist students that English is a second language. From the bare basics of learning the letters and corresponding sounds, to putting the word into a meaningful sentence and all that falls between.
In my situation (working in a prison) I often get students who do not speak English. If another student speaks their language, I allow them a translator in class. Otherwise, I "grade" them based on their attitude and involvement. It's about the best we can do being that the state does not provide materials in any language but English.
how to better interact with diverse students. also, have students use new terms in a sentence.
Diversity in students needs to be taken into consideration always in order for all students to understand and grasp the information.Breaking down all information being taught is key.
