Equitable ESL - Introductions by Faith McAuliffe https://padlet.com/faithmcauliffe/hmwnst23c9mha2cd What is your name? Your role? What languages do your students use at home and at school? en-us 2022-03-07 22:53:36 UTC 2025-11-12 12:11:06 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f590.png I'm Faith McAuliffe, I'm an "ESL Teacher" at a Spanish/English dual immersion school. I tell kids and families that I'm a "language teacher". Some of my groups are more focused on English, others are more focused on Spanish, but always while making comparing and contrasting the two target languages. Most of my students hear Spanish at home. Some speak mostly Spanish, some mostly English, some 50/50. A few only use English at home. A few use Haitian Creole, French, Amharic, Italian, Ukranian, Cantonese, Hebrew, or Luganda. faithmcauliffe https://padlet.com/faithmcauliffe/hmwnst23c9mha2cd/wish/2082676149 2022-03-07 23:02:17 UTC https://padlet.com/faithmcauliffe/hmwnst23c9mha2cd/wish/2082676149 Waltham Rocks! sarahamerla https://padlet.com/faithmcauliffe/hmwnst23c9mha2cd/wish/2103133017 I am from WPS too and blessed to work with these two!
