I teach English Language Development (ELD) to immigrant students from Guatemala, Mexico and Vietnam. The ELD program is designed to make the transition easier for newcomers who have just arrived in U.S. schools and who have very limited to no English language skills.
My students come to the ELD Lab for one hour a day. The rest of the day is spent in at their regular grade-level classroom with English-speaking students.
Armed with notions of what school in America is like based on movies, music, or correspondence from relatives, most newcomers find that no amount of studying could've prepared them for this monumental leap into a strange new world.
My classroom provides a safe, secure, nurturing atmosphere; a place where students can take risks with language and have fun! My goal is to prepare the newcomers as quickly as possible for a successful experience in American schools.
