- Assignment #2: write a journal entry describing catchflies, a species native to North America
-
- I am so confused! What is a catchfly? I wish there were pictures so I could understand what Ms. Lily was talking about. I can't relate to any of this and I am too embarrassed to say anything...
- "I think James has a Learning Disability. He doesn't pay attention in class and has issues retelling stories in English."
- Mr. SmithPrincipal
- "Thank you, Ms. Lilly. A lot of children who are acquiring English have these difficulties. Before diagnosing him with a learning disability, I think it is a good idea to get support from an ESL or bilingual staff member."
- Difficulties in ELL's second language can be due to:1. learning environment2. personal and family factors3. physical/psychological factors4. previous schooling performance5. proficiency in oral language and literacy in L1 and L26. academic achievement7. cross-cultural factors
- "It is important for teachers to understand the second language acquisition process, to recognize the possible characteristics associated with LD, and to look at the quality of instruction to determine whether students truly have received an adequate opportunity to learn."(Klingner, 2010)
