ELL's in America

Editor's Notes

  1. Statistics: The percentage of public school students in the United States who were English language learners (ELL) was higher in school year 2011–12 (9.1 percent) than in 2002–03 (8.7 percent). Seven of the eight states with the highest percentages of ELL students in their public schools were located in the West.
  2. As communities across the United States are becoming more diverse, many new teachers are finding find that their responsibilities include teaching both academic content and language skills to English Language Learners. -Edutopia
  3. Speak slowly, audibly and clearly in whatever language you use in the classroom. Avoid asking students in front of the whole class if they understand. Instead, ask students to volunteer to repeat the instructions in their own words, in English or in the students' native language.
  4. If you do not yet speak the languages of the children you work with, start learning. Even if you do not master your a student's language, learning a few words and courtesy phrases is a sign of respect and effort on your part. If you already speak your students languages, congratulations! Continue to work at improving your skills.
  5. An idiom is an everyday figure of speech or metaphorical expression whose meaning cannot be taken literary. Idioms often go against the logical “rules of language and grammar” despite being commonly used by the language’s native speakers.  Watch your language!
