Meeting Community Needs
Language and Speech skills are vital to academic learning and success. Language is the foundation of communication. Reading, writing, gesturing, listening, and speaking is all methods of language. Learning takes place through the process of communication. The aptitude to communicate with peers and grown-ups in the educational setting is vital for a student to prosper in school. However, the problem of communication at this 2nd-grade level is the ESL. Comment by Grammarly: Deleted:l Comment by Grammarly: Deleted:are
Who are the people most affected by this problem?
The students are the ones hardest hit by this issue, especially in the classroom. A lot of times, students will routinely look to the teacher for correct answers rather than trying to find out what is going on for themselves. Sometimes this can be a problem among the student and the teacher. However, if the teacher assists them with the answer every single time, it can turn out to be a detrimental issue. In its place, emphasize on giving encouragement that is positive. With that said, it has been a problem because a lot of teachers do not take the time out to even do any of this. The problem gets out of hand when the student feels like they are not getting respected. This will take place, no matter what, in almost every classroom in the second-grade hall.

Involving ELL families can merely work if all followers of the community (as well as students, parents, staff, and administrators) are devoted to the wider task.

How does technology play a role in this?
A lot of times, teachers use technology in the classroom as a way of communicating to the students. The problem with the technology was that it just took over the class. In some cases, but not all, it widening the gap between student and teacher. Even though we are living in the "age of technology," a lot of teachers remain awkward with the awareness of assimilating it into classrooms among ESL students. This is because of several factors, as well as the lack…

Teaching ESL Students At least 3.5 million children every year are identified as possessing limited English proficiency and require additional support before they are mainstreamed into the regular classroom environment (Miller & Endo 2004: 786). Approaches to ESL instruction run the gamut from total immersion to fostering a largely bilingual approach to education for this group of students. The two typical program approaches are that of a transitional bilingual education

Relevant to ESL students and teaming between ESL teachers and mainstream teachers, the St. Paul, Minnesota. school district has replaced assigning ESL students to a full-day ESL track or having an ESL teacher regularly pull them out of class. Instead, mainstream and ESL teachers co-teach in the same classroom. With this approach, the school district has nearly closed the achievement gap between English-language learners and native speakers, based
