The challenge that I face every year is that there is always at least one parent that I have difficulty communicating with, because of the language barrier.

Challenges with translating all information to Spanish. Scoring student work that is submitted in Spanish.

# data[].attributes.body
If alone with no one to translate I typically use translation apps that are on my phone to communicate. This method has proven effective to move forward with supporting families or scholars.

A challenge would be not getting the content ahead of time.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the difficulties I experienced was the ensuring that they task was broken up enough for the MLLS. They needed additional processing time to understand the translation before they can even begin on the task. So continuing to make their learning engaging for them and no just reading off screen.

Most challenging is trying to connect with MLL’s when knowing very little Spanish.

Difficulties in getting to know the abilities of the students, their strengths and progress.

It would be easier if they would have instruction given in English only, then I can read their answers.

Keeping the student engaged and actually getting them to do the assignment given

I felt like students had access to supports and tools, but if I wasn’t working with them directly they wouldn’t continue with the task.

Speaking to them in English too. I get too comfortable speaking to them only in Spanish.

Often the MLL students continue to talk or be playful when the class is being spoken to as a whole.

Teaching is tricky enough, with student absences skyrocketing. Teaching MLL students with inconsistent attendance is enough more difficult. When content is missed, it isn't easy to catch up with native English speakers. Catching up with MLLs is profoundly more difficult.

Determining when to provide 1st vs 2nd language instruction

# data[].attributes.body
It has been hard in the past to try and clarify their ideas and what they are being asked to do. Selecting the right evidence or evidence that makes sense has been difficult.

One struggle I experienced while supporting an MLL student was understanding and comprehending what was being told, asked, or said to me.

Getting our MML's to be engaged in the content and to participate.

# data[].attributes.body
We make the information accessible in the students native language, slides, worksheets, vocabulary. However I feel like I am not supporting the acquisition of the English language.
