| Popis: | Kindergarten classrooms present a wide range of support for students, and when teaching English learners’ (EL), support is vital to everyone’s learning. Therefore, similar to a kindergarten classroom, K-12 classrooms should offer a language rich classroom setting that is geared towards assisting and supporting students that are learning English as a second language. The K-12 teacher is expected to facilitate and promote language learning through the application of specific multilingual strategies and to provide an accepting multilingual and multicultural educational environment. Teachers who have not taught kindergarten may not be familiar with the educational methods utilized in this classroom environment and may not be able to connect this methodology to first through twelfth grade classroom settings; however, by observing an exceptional multilingual and multicultural kindergarten classroom all teachers will be able to comprehend how this is conducive to teaching ELs in all grades. |
