Culture is well represented, but not multiple languages. Overall, Meadowlane does an exceptional job of accepting and representing different cultures. It’s heartwarming to students to see many different ethnicities represented around your own school. It’s very eye opening to Caucasian students to understand and see other students as the same. In my elementary, there were only photos and posters of Caucasian students or adults. Although, Meadowlane does not represent language very well for their school demographics. Their school is very diverse with a large population of ELL students. It would be awesome if some of those students could take a break from the stress of learning English. This break could be just by seeing a poster or reading a
Hogsmeadow garden center situated in a village named Hogsmeadow of UK which is renowned tourist area. This garden center sells different goods and services related gardening. This garden center includes a restaurant also named Honeydukes restaurant. In the case study it is found that though the garden center provides high quality products and services to their customers as their customers needed and they have a large number of customers at different times of the year their sales revenue is not increasing. Consumers can purchase variety of products as their necessary from this garden centre. In fact different times of the year especially in winter the business makes loss which occurs because of the inefficiency of the management
In these programs, stories are told and a few things are taught to the new arrivals. According to an article by Mr. Sanders from the Los Angeles Times, many of the refugees believe “…life in the United States will be easy, that they will live in big homes with cars and television sets.” and of course this is not true in most cases, but we can show them and motivate them to make this become true. Like Mr. Duwali said to the class during a speech, “Language is key to the community.” This is absolutely true. It would be absolutely amazing to have various ESL classes going on during the day for those who are committed to learn English and go forward in life. It would also be nice to see the youth of the community coming together at these ESL classes to help their classmates and the older Somali Refugees. It would be a great way to show them patience and how difficult it is for these people to come here knowing nothing. Helping somebody reach a goal as big as learning a language well enough for others to understand, is something everyone should be proud of because that person just helped someone else come this much closer to

The Yonkers Public School is located in Lower Hudson Valley and happens to be the fourth largest school district in New York State. The population of students consist of 19.9% Black, 18.4 % White and 54.5 % Hispanic. Lincoln High School is one of the seven public high schools in the city and has an enrollment of about twelve hundred students. The student body makeup is 53 percent male and 47 percent female, and the total minority enrollment is 89 percent. Since it’s a high school setting, we have Literacy Coach (one person). The Literacy coach is there to really help the English as a New Language (ENL), formerly known as English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) population but it’s open to all students who are struggling.
This course has really enlightened my view of being able to learn the value of linguistic and cultural diversity and the influential learning opportunities it gives today’s classrooms and schools. We as teacher educators were allowed to examine our attitudes, beliefs, and preferences regarding linguistically and culturally diverse students, families, and communities and learn methods for working together to confirm high levels of learning for all students. Also, strategies for guaranteeing
Miss Kane’s first grade class at Lutie Lewis Coates Elementary School (also known as Coates Elementary) has twenty students and seventeen of them are considered English Language Learners (ELL) (E. Kane, Personal Communication, October 4, 2016). This is very frustrating for both Miss. Kane and her students because it is very difficult to communicate with many of her ELLs. Out of Miss Kane’s twenty students eight students are Hispanic, five Indian, five Black, and three White. Miss Kane’s class is very diverse and this allows students to feel more accepted because not all students are similar. Coates Elementary as a whole is very diverse: Asian 28.86%, Black 18.26%, Hispanic 37.32%, and White 12.08% (Fairfax County Public Schools, 2015). Miss Kane’s classroom reflects similar diversity as Coates Elementary does. Both Miss. Kane and the Coates staff really show their appreciation for diversity and attempt to treat all children equally giving all students equal opportunity. Coates Elementary is a Title I school; about fifty percent of students receive free and reduced lunch (Fairfax County Public Schools, 2015). This school was placed in the center of poverty and many of these students who participate in the free and reduced lunch program are English Language Learners.

With nearly 30 million immigrants crossing our borders in the last three decades, the United States education system has seen a dramatic increase in the number of English Language Learners (ELLs) entering the classroom (Migration Policy Institute website, n.d.). With this influx of non-native English speakers has come the need to find the best ways possible to meet them where they are academically and teach them accordingly. However, after years of research, education gurus are still divided on how to best meet the needs of ELLs. While there is no clear-cut approach, there are several strategies and programs that schools can implement in order to help immigrant learners and their families be successful in our school system.

Although I have been employed with Spring City Corner Clubhouse for a year now it is allowing me to continue to learn and grow not only as a student but also as a starting Human Services worker in this field.

Madison High School serves a very diverse population of students. It has shifted from a white, working-class school to a school without a majority racial or ethnic group. Their students speak
As an ESL instructor, I teach a diverse classroom full of migrants with a variety of backgrounds. It’s as multicultural as a classroom can be! I try to incorporate my students’ cultures into our lessons. After all, everything we know and understand comes from the lens of our culture. Take for example our own education. Think about how much influence our point of view had on our education. Now, how much is our point of view affected by culture? I try to be as culturally responsive as possible. However, I know that there is always room for improvement.
During the course entitled Diversity and Cultural Issues in TESOL Education, issues of diversity and culture, as well as methods, strategies, and approaches for engaging English language learners were examined. Students all over the world learn English for a variety of reasons. Some students must study English as a requirement. Other students may wish to travel, study abroad, or work in the global marketplace where knowledge of the English language is seen as a prerequisite for success. Still other students have migrated to communities where English is spoken as the primary language. A school’s curriculum may be taught exclusively in English. Whatever the reasons for studying English may be, the one thing students all over the globe learning English have in common is that they are all different. Diversity includes different races, religions, ethnic origins, primary languages, among other human traits and wide-ranging economic circumstances.
August 24th, Queensboro Corporation, the real estate company founded by Edward A. MacDougall aired the first ever radio advertisement through WEAF. American Telephone & Telegraph Co. setted up its own radio station, and in February, AT&T announced that WEAF will be selling “toll broadcasting” to advertisers. For the first six months, no one stepped forward. However, last night, H.M. Blackwell, a representative of Queensboro Corporation was aired on WEAF, suggesting the idea of moving to the Hawthorne court. Queensboro Corporation’s commercial was repeated four times from 5 P.M. to 5:30 P.M. According to WEAF, Queensboro Corporation paid AT&T, and fifty-dollars to WEAF for a ten minute message promoting the sale of the apartment in Queens,
During the 1990s the immigrant population expanded quickly and by a large amount. According to Eggen and Kauchak (2007) “experts estimate that by the year 2020 two thirds of the school population will be African American, Asian, Hispanic, or Native American. This means there will be great cultural diversity in our society and in our schools.” Educators will need to be educated on how to teach in a diverse classroom. Teachers will need to have an understanding for English-language learning children and the way they learn. All educators must be able to teach ELL students while encouraging them to continue to use their native language while learning to speak English. Teachers must also remember to try to keep all families
