Chapter 8
Chapter 8 gave different methods educators can use when they have students who are still learning English in their class. The first thing that the teacher should do is get to know the students, and understand where they come from. Any way possible to communicate with these students about something that involves them will only show that you care, which will help there transition that much more and keep them from giving up during times of frustration. To go along with knowing the student, applying there cultures to the work will also help them understand it better. It will also give the other students an understanding of where that student is from and the different beliefs and styles they have towards that subject. It is extremely important that these students are not too overwhelmed, and that the educator understand when to push, and when to pull back. Observing, and talking with the students is critical, to make sure they are catching on, and not giving up. Educators need to have patience, and at times use baby steps so that these students will move forward.
