    2. COMMUNICATE WITH THE ESL TEACHER: this is crucial for the students learning outcomes. Discuss what areas they need help in
    3. LEARN ABOUT THE CULTURAL BACKGROUND OF YOUR STUDENTS…
    4. …BUT DON’T MAKE A CHILD SPEAK FOR HIS ENTIRE CULTURE
    5. LOOK OUT FOR CULTURALLY UNIQUE VOCABULARY: being aware of culturally unique vocabulary words will help the student grasp information more because of its relevance.     ]]>     2022-06-10 03:31:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kamals42/Kamals42/wish/2217034143     Being Aware kamals42 https://padlet.com/kamals42/Kamals42/wish/2217042569
  • "Learn about your students’ cultural backgrounds and demonstrate an appreciation of those cultures. Teachers show students how to embrace different cultures by modeling respect and acceptance"
  • Bring cultural diversity into the lesson
  • Using different teaching, and cognitive styles results in lessons with a greater chance of reaching all students.
  • "Encourage students to relate the benefit of a lesson to their own lives"

    * Know the difference between social language and academic language    ]]>     2022-06-12 18:27:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kamals42/Kamals42/wish/2218707836     A Challenge for Teachers kamals42 https://padlet.com/kamals42/Kamals42/wish/2218709568 "All teachers should allow the classroom to move from a monolingual to a plurilingual space, using multilingual signs to decorate the walls, including bilingual books in the library, etc. Languages ​​and cultures should be considered in terms of collective resources and placed on an equal footing. The bilingualism of pupils who speak a language other than that of the school must be valued to allow them to find their place in the classroom"
    This article stressed the challenge for students and what teachers, schools, and parents can do to help in these circumstances.

Also incorporating culture in the classroom.]]>     2022-06-12 18:32:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kamals42/Kamals42/wish/2218709568     kamals42 https://padlet.com/kamals42/Kamals42/wish/2218712290 We, as teachers, should believe that . . .

    1. Teachers and teacher educators must respect all learners and themselves as individuals with culturally defined identities.
    2. Students bring funds of knowledge to their learning communities, and, recognizing this, teachers and teacher educators must incorporate this knowledge and experience into classroom practice.
    3. Educators need to model culturally responsive and socially responsible practices for students.
    4. All students need to be taught mainstream power codes/discourses and become critical users of language while also having their home and street codes honored.
    5. Teaching is a political act, and in our preparation of future teachers and citizens, teachers and teacher educators need to be advocates for and models of social justice and equity***
