When working with ELD students, what are your challenges? Strengths? What could be done to increase your skills in this area?
I do not have any ELD students, but I imagine my main challenge would be simply put, communication. I think it would be very difficult to teach something to someone who doesn't understand the language to begin with. I can only relate it to my college algebra class that was taught by a Chinese man with a very thick accent. Algebra is a whole new language let alone trying to decipher what he was saying.
I think my strength would be creating a caring environment in which the student would know I am trying to help.
