Guided Response: Review several of your classmates’ posts. Based on the position your classmate has taken, assume the role of administrator, teacher, student, or parent and argue the amount of accountability that has been placed on you. Try to illuminate the ripple effect of actions from any position within the educational network. Challenge your classmate so that their strategies always do what is best for students. Respond to at least two of your classmates. In the United States there are many children or grownups who have a language barrier problem and are learning the English language. Some characteristics that describe LTEL according to teacher. Scholastic.com “states that children are often orally bilingual and sound like native English speakers do not have well-developed academic literacy skills in English. Often have developed habits of non-engagement, learned passivity, and invisibility in school. Also they perform below grade level in reading and writing and, as a result, struggle in all content areas.

I also encourage families to speak the English language at home frequently so they could grasp it on both levels of school and home. In my personal opinions dealing with children who are involved in that situations needs a lot of patience. Sometimes the administrators leaves all the issue with the teachers to address. As a teacher I do not feel that we should be blamed but instead do workshops, established relationships with families to assist in this situation. As educators we can improve our curriculum established rules, do activities that will encourage and help the child. Parents on the other hand sometimes do nothing to help the child. Teachers teach them at school the proper way when they go home they are back in the same environment of not practicing English. For example, most parents speak in another language to them like Spanish or French. My neighbor only speaks Spanish to her children they hardly can speak English at school because t.
