An ELL doesn't have to be born elsewhere. Many times these students are first-generation Canadians, children of new immigrants to Canada.

2. Collaboration and co-operative learning is key for students in order to feel comfortable in a learning environment where they are being exposed to something brand new. 

3. Many students will go through a silent period, because they are shy/nervous/scared to share what they know. This doesn't mean these students are not active in class, but they are actively trying to listen and absorb as much as they can.

4. As for all students, the learning material needs to be current and engaging in order for them to be driven to learn. If materials are outdated or irrelevant to the students, then they will not be as motivated.

2. Create a culturally responsive classroom that allows students to safely express and demonstrate their experiences using both their native language and English.

3. When modelling new words, phrases and sentences, try to give students some contextual support for them to visualize how the vocabulary should be used. 

4. Provide students with a different number of materials, such as movies, music, TV shows, podcasts, websites, games, articles etc., to help expose them to English in a large number of formats, other than just  paperback books. ]]> 2018-05-08 17:30:20 UTC https://padlet.com/k_bisnauth01/rvcg5sjynona/wish/259015111 k_bisnauth01 https://padlet.com/k_bisnauth01/rvcg5sjynona/wish/259015478
1. How can I incorporate student identity and  culture into their learning?

2. Can my students understand what I'm saying? Have I modified the way I speak in the ways necessary (speed, vocabulary, hand gestures)  to best help student learning?

3.  What kind of materials do my students read at home? What do they have access to and how often do they have access to these materials?

4. Do students feel safe expressing themselves in their current learning environment? Are inclusion and appropriate ways to agree/disagree with another students opinion developed and promoted in class? ]]> 2018-05-08 17:31:01 UTC https://padlet.com/k_bisnauth01/rvcg5sjynona/wish/259015478 k_bisnauth01 https://padlet.com/k_bisnauth01/rvcg5sjynona/wish/259016196 1. Many people who begin learning English before adolescence acquire everyday language skills within a year or two, but most take 5 or more years to catch up to their peers who use English for academic tasks.

2. Many Canadian-born ELL's take a similar amount of time to new Canadian immigrants to acquire academic English.

3. "A second language is acquired most effectively when it is used to achieve meaningful purposes such as learning baseball, solving a mathematics word problem, creating a dramatic retelling of a story, planning a class outing, and working on a group project."
