Who Are Our English Language Learners?

It’s important to know who your ELLs are as people. You must be deliberate in learning about their backgrounds and personal history. Read Chapter 1 of your text, paying particular attention to Section 1.3, in addition to viewing the following video, English Language Learners: Culture, Equity and Language. 

How do the dimensions of language, culture, socioeconomic status, and immigration status contribute to the diversity of our English Language Learners? Describe at least two different ways these dimensions may negatively impact student learning for our ELLs by providing classroom-based examples. Provide a way to overcome each negative implication.

For the final part of your post, conduct an internet search and find one “Get to Know You” activity that you can use with your ELLs. Include the URL to the activity, and briefly describe why you think the strategy would be effective for getting to know your ELLs. How might you use the knowledge gained about your ELLs in your classroom? Provide at least two specific ways.
