I have 5 ELLs in my inclusion classroom; I'm very glad that they have each other to relate to and interact with. Fortunately, 4 of my ELLs speak the same native language. Sometimes, I ask the higher level English proficient students to translate what I am saying for the lower level English proficient student. I think this practice has augmented the academic learning for the lower level student and made all of the ELLs feel more comfortable in my classroom.
Do your students receive any native-language support, either formal or informal, for their learning?
