I really feel it is important for my students to not feel punished for using their native language!  I want them to feel supported, and I want them to feel they can use their native language as a foundation for their learning.  I want to keep in mind that their language is apart of their prior knowledge.

I love the thought of  trying to use different cultural examples and languages to describe business practices. Building on what students have experienced in those other cultures and tying it to our business culture

I would like to give students more opportunities to put things in their own words or language. This just affirms their abilities in whatever language they are most comfortable.

Promoting a single culture and prioritizing a language is often the goal. The problem is that along with the native language, the culture of the student is also affected, as such it is referred to as “deculturization”. It is said that it comes at a cost to the student at home who is asked not to speak the language of its parents. I wish to avoid creating a subtractive program culture where the L2 or L3 comes at the expense of L1.

I will try to increase my knowledge by attending conferences on literacy.

Since an effective teacher knows that learning builds on prior knowledge, and language is the backbone of that knowledge, I though I might have one of my bilingual students record my lessons on video and then translate it for my ELL students to view on their own time or when we have downtimes in the woodshop.  If I can't find the time to do this, I could always have a bilingual student translate for me during the lesson.  I don't know precisely hoe these activities would work yet, but they are something to consider and put some effort into pursuing thoughtfully.

I've found that my students love teaching me Spanish. I'd like to continue doing this as they see that it's okay to make mistakes and to understand how things look from my point of view.

I did like the ideas about using key words in different languages.  That is an achievable goal and wouldn’t require too much extra work, but could help them understand better if the right keywords were chosen and associated with the content.  I also liked the audio recording idea of greetings or other things in the students’ language.  That could at least show you care about all of your students which helps academic achievement.

I want to be more confident sharing history that needs not be forgotten confidently, instead of scared that I might do or say something wrong.

I want to learn words and phrases of all of my students’ native languages that I have. And do it throughout my interactions with them.

I want to have people who speak Spanish come to my classroom and help us (Teachers in my building). I would love to have them speak Spanish and perform with my students.
Also work to have videos and stories in Spanish. Mine is good enough......Not great. I will work on my simple native language prompts.
Google Translate over the speaker!!

I am going to refresh my Spanish after I finish German on Duolingo. Since 8% of students need things in Spanish, I am likely to come across someone.

I've been hesitant to show video clips or play audio read-aloud books in my ELL students' native languages, as one of the parents said that they keep English as a "school only" thing and only speak Spanish at home. After reading this chapter, though, I feel like I should play stories in other languages to encourage both languages, instead of having a "school only" language.

I am a self proclaimed word nerd, so I decided that when I learn a student's native language is not english, I am now going to invite them to use the language with me in class if they feel comfortable! (Translating themselves of course if possible!)
