It'll make it easier for us to teach the student to transfer those acquired skills because they will have a solid foundation. 
Example: If you have a student who does not know how to read or write in Spanish but came from another country we teach them to read and write in Spanish before moving them to learning to speak, read and write in English.]]> 2017-07-21 00:08:23 UTC https://padlet.com/nataristy/xuwgfuwgpec/wish/179152315 https://padlet.com/nataristy/xuwgfuwgpec/wish/179152326 No! The ideal for everyone should be to embrace multilingualism. This myth can also be harmful to students who do not speak English outside of school. Having greater literacy and linguistic competency in two languages benefits all students in myriad ways.]]> 2017-07-21 00:08:33 UTC https://padlet.com/nataristy/xuwgfuwgpec/wish/179152326 https://padlet.com/nataristy/xuwgfuwgpec/wish/179152362 -Support not only the language but also the culture, Allow students to realize that bilingualism is a strength, ]]> 2017-07-21 00:09:02 UTC https://padlet.com/nataristy/xuwgfuwgpec/wish/179152362 https://padlet.com/nataristy/xuwgfuwgpec/wish/179152940 2017-07-21 00:17:44 UTC https://padlet.com/nataristy/xuwgfuwgpec/wish/179152940 https://padlet.com/nataristy/xuwgfuwgpec/wish/179152950 Understand that students cannot be expected to speak English 24/7 and respect this when students are talking with the teacher in the classroom and when students are speaking with their friends outside the classroom

Monolingual speakers often switch between dialects and registers unconsciously. ]]> 2017-07-21 00:17:59 UTC https://padlet.com/nataristy/xuwgfuwgpec/wish/179152956 https://padlet.com/nataristy/xuwgfuwgpec/wish/179153600 Yes this is reality. Numerous scientific studies done in recent times support this notion. Multi-lingual individuals can have essentially double the lexicon to express ideas that monolingual individuals cannot. ]]> 2017-07-21 00:27:34 UTC https://padlet.com/nataristy/xuwgfuwgpec/wish/179153600 https://padlet.com/nataristy/xuwgfuwgpec/wish/179153754 Make students aware of what they're conveying to others by writing it down.
