Abstract:
As the population of non-English speaking people in the United States grows, elementary teachers are faced with the daunting task of teaching non-English speaking students. A large percentage of elementary teachers have not been formally trained in teaching these English Language Learners. Not only must elementary teachers instruct students in English, they must also teach math, science, and social studies. With all of the demands placed on elementary teachers, being prepared to meet all students' academic needs can be a daunting task. As two pre-service elementary teachers who have been trained in English as a Second Language, we have built this website to help teachers gather information about their learners and the best practices for meeting their needs.
