This year I am working as a first grade push in/pull out ESL teacher. I have more than 70 students who are from different countries and speak different languages; Korean, Spanish, Chinese, Italian, and Arabic, etc. The population in my school is very diverse and we have gotten more Chinese students within the last two years. These students are very smart, but they need the tools to assist them in learning the new language; English. Most of these children do not understand a word of English. They are new to this country. I have to use a lot of songs, gestures, visual supports, movements to engage them and teach the lessons in order for them to understand. Thankfully the school is very supportive of ESL teachers.
