Becoming An Educator For English Language Learners

Working in a classroom with English Language Learners can be a great learning experience for those going to school to become teachers. Something that I was curious about in the kindergarten classroom that I am in, is how the ELL student’s in the class could learn different educational skills in a way that would be beneficial to them. What are the different strategies that teachers can use with ELL students to make them better learners? Through my question, my hope is to find out different strategies that I could use to help ELL students learn different educational skills.

I believe that education is the key in developing today’s students into tomorrow’s leaders. Education is the basis on which individuals develop their self-concept and the desire to become more knowledgeable. I want to become an educator because I am interested in helping elementary students become active learners and also to assist with their social skills. I believe I can make a difference to many students as they start their educational foundation. I feel that all teachers should possess the desire to devote their hard work and efforts to their students’ educational success. I view teaching as not only one of the most respected careers, but also as one in which the rewards are great and many

As our nation shifts towards a more culturally diverse population both educators and families have to find a common ground to ensure that English Language Learners are academically successful. All stakeholders must carefully consider the social cultural impact on an ELL education. The process of raising bilingual learners take more than a language a school and a language learned at home. The transition must have a purpose and a goal.

“What it takes for English Learners to Succeed?” is an article written by Jana Echevarria, Nancy Frey, and Doug Fisher that illustrate concepts that will allow English Learners to become fluent in English. The purpose of this article is to discuss four accessible teaching practices that will allow English Learners in U.S. classroom to become academically successful and attain fluency in English. To clarify, the authors use access, climate, expectations, and language instruction as the practices that will eliminate education inequality and enable students to be able to fully participate in rigorous course work without excluding English Learners. Ultimately this provides an approachable school reform, creates additive integration of multicultural perspective and approach and lastly brings a way for language diversity to be seen in the classroom.

Recently, as the schools in the United States become more diverse in cultures, the needs for new English learners to learn the basic of English and grow in fluency has expanded. Nevertheless, a major of English learners receive insufficient education and have low achievement at school. Therefore, the approach of the schools for English learners might not be sufficient for them to unchain themselves from the boundary of differences in language and culture. As a result, the article “What It Takes for English Learners to Succeed” from Jana Echevarria, Nancy Frey, and Doug Fisher provides a guideline for teachers to help their English learners by using the four practices of “Access, Climate, Expectation, and Language Instruction.” The four practices can be divided into two categories. Access, climate, and expectations focus on educational settings, while language instruction focuses on teaching contents.

I am currently a Kindergarten teacher at Our Lady of Trust Academy. Although it is a wonderful private institution, my goal is to teach at a public school. I have chosen this career path because I am passionate about working with children, while they are developing their foundational skills. I believe that by receiving a high quality education; that goes beyond remembering and understanding, students can master the core material through analyzing and creating. This will give learners a strong base to build upon, setting students on the path to be successful in high school, and go on to be career and

I always thought I would be a teacher and I would make differences in lives and it would be the greatest experience in the world for me, yet being a teacher wasn’t enough, I had a need to expand my education. I decided that perhaps I needed a new career, however, I felt certain education remained my passion. I began to explore new areas of education and I realized I still want to be a member of a classroom, a school and curriculum. I aspire to guide those leading our classrooms.

My goal as an educator is to receive a Master of Science in Education with a Concentration in Inclusion Education. Even though I do not hold an undergraduate degree in Education, this is where my life path has taken me. Being an educator without an education degree has taught me how to help students learn by thinking outside the box. I currently have a Bachelor of Science in Organizational Communication. I am an Instructor. I am knowledgeable in areas of training using effective communication skills. I am able to explain to others the process and steps it takes to produce a positive outcome.

The positive experiences that I had as a student and substitute teacher have influenced me to become a teacher. My goal is to give children a positive experience in education by providing an environment that is warm and relatable. I want them to love learning like I do. My wish is to help children to feel supported, regardless of their race, ethnicity, culture, religion, class, or gender. I want students to love learning as well by making it interesting and relatable.

I want to become someone who teaches, an educator, a role model, a teacher. I want to help children in their early childhood education. I want to become a teacher because teachers play a very big role in children’s lives. Not only do they serve as educators, but for many kids, the classroom is where they feel the safest. They feel welcomed and at home. For these certain kids it is their one place of stability where they are always guaranteed to be loved and get fed and to have fun. I enjoy watching kids grow and helping them develop their learning skills. Every kid needs a good education and I want to be the one giving them that good education. I want to make a difference in their lives and prepare them for the road ahead.

I have always wanted to be a parent. I am a newly wed and we plan to have children in the near future. I feel that I will be a great parent because I helped raise my two sisters so I have background with helping children and meeting their needs. As a future educator, I must convince students that I care. I plan to open new doors and introduce ideas that spark interest in their souls.

Teachers should always interact with their student’s parents and build a strong relationship built upon effective communication and trust. For a general education teacher, this is most likely very easy to do. For an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher, this can be increasingly difficult due to language barriers and cultural differences. How then, would an ESL teacher achieve a strong relationship built upon the principle of trust and effective communication? First, and foremost, an ESL teacher must have a positive attitude when they are working with their students and their families. ESL teachers need to always look at the bright-side of every situation regarding their students. For example, if one of their students is only able to grasp one main concept from one lesson the whole entire school day, they should be happy with the student. Although it may only be one important concept, that ESL teacher was still able to get across to their student in some way and even though it was little progress, it was still progress. Progress is one of the biggest goals and focus in an ESL classroom. By having a positive attitude, the ESL teacher is fostering a nurturing, warm, safe environment where each student feels comfortable and eager to learn. Having a positive attitude is important when communicating with students and their families, but there is more that an ESL teacher must do when they reach out to the parents and families of their ESL students.

Being an English teacher has always been my dream, and I have been growing up with it since I was a child. That dream has had a great impact on my decision-making and building my personality. It helped me trace my future by improving myself to meet the needs of a suitable English teacher who does not only have the knowledge of the language, but also has good manners, in addition to the potential to be an idol for his students, and also for people in his community. The love of the English language is the basis of the will to be an English teacher because for me, to succeed in something you need to love it first. English is a fascinating language and it is the most widely spoken language globally. It is used mostly every field from aviation, teaching, science and so on. it has a deep history with many wonderful poets and linguists who made this language great such us, William Shakespeare and Noam Chomsky. Overall, a teacher is a peace promoter and an ignorance fighter and for me that is a great duty to have a part of it.

To enable all students to learn and engage with the learning areas in the classroom, teachers employ a variety of teaching methodologies across all learning areas. Choosing an appropriate teaching methodology will make the process of teaching English as a second language easier and more rewarding for the teachers and students, and increase the likelihood of success. In this research, I will analyses a video clip of an ESL/EFL teacher and class in action for reflection on and evaluating the mythology to promote language learning.
