ELL students need extra support and someone fighting for them! These students face different challenges than native speakers and it is our job to give them the resources they need.

Inclusion

Every student should feel need and seen in their classroom. This picture reminds us that everyone is different but also special and an important part of the whole.

Show aspects of different cultures in the classroom, maybe different flags for example, so that no singular narrative is being pushed.

English Varies!

English can be expressed in different ways without any of the ways being 'wrong'. This is a very fluid language with many ways of communication.

Even in America, English sounds different!

There is no singular voice of English. Everyone has an accent in one way or another, none of which are better or worse than another.

Syntax!

emmaziegelbein — 2023-12-04 05:48:12 UTC

Sentences need to be structured in a certain way to hold their meaning. Words cannot be thrown together randomly without thought to their order.

Many Pieces

Learning English takes a variety of skills, all working together, to make sense! Knowing and combining all of these is how fluency emerges.
