Teachers begin the school year teaching in only the students' native language, but as the year progresses, the teacher begins to introduce English as well. This is done gradually and eventually the classes are taught in only English. This helps the students transition to an English classroom more naturally while still preserving their native language.]]> 2021-11-17 08:02:53 UTC https://padlet.com/aesparza00/bn1llmtzkf9b67sh/wish/1896267309 aesparza00 https://padlet.com/aesparza00/bn1llmtzkf9b67sh/wish/1896339477 This term refers to the students that are learning English while still practicing their native language.

However, teachers should encourage parents to read to their children even in their native language. They can also help by assuring that students complete their homework each night.
