In math class, I noticed that there were a lot of opportunities for peer-discussion. The science teacher encouraged students to work with their math partner to figure out math problems before attempting a problem on their own. I liked that students were able to build confidence in the math concept before they were expected to attempt problems on their own. From the conversations I was listening to, students were talking about math together and encouraging each other in solving the math problem.

In science class, students have opportunities for group work, but it is not often nor considered true group work. During class, students are engaging with the teacher mostly through whole-class discussion. Students are expected to raise their hands and contribute their knowledge of a science phenomenon. The content is accessible to all students because all students have existing knowledge of biology (they just might not have the exact science terms to describe it). Though, I would encourage science teachers to increase the opportunities for peer-discussion and group work to ensure that peer-engagement is frequent so that English learners are sufficiently exposed to language.

EL students, particularly Emilia and Cynthia, can be encouraged to access higher levels of thinking by engaging with their peers. Both students enjoy group work and working with their peers. Providing opportunities in class for students to engage with each other can promote their language use and expose them to other students using English. There is a lot of switching between "academic language" and "nonacademic language" that happens in  class, and EL students can begin to pick up on these subtleties as they interact with native English speakers. I have noticed that many of my students are not confident in their abilities to read or write, but they are eager to talk to each other. I believe that as students practice their language skills in class through talking, they will also strengthen their reading and writing skills.
