@UnderstoodOrg #ldchat A3) The best thing we can do for ELs who have LS is to be patient with them. They can feel when they are being looked down on. They can also feel when we believe in them.

Yes! Language acquisition takes time (5-7 years or more) and because of that ELs might be misidentified with a learning disability. #LDchat

Lori Edmonds @LoriEdmondsPhD
@MsQirjaqi A2. Right, and sometimes PTSD or culture shock can too. #LDchat
Rozana Johnson @rozanajohnson
Agreed @ValentinaESL @TanELLclassroom!We have to be patient with:students’ answers, thinking time,their mistakes,their repetitive mistakes, how long it takes them to grow...as well as patient & empathetic for their SEL & the cultural differences they’re experiencing. #LDchat
Rozana Johnson @rozanajohnson
@LoriEdmondsPhD Oh absolutely. I remember when I first moved here at 10 yrs old (barely any English skills)...while my teacher was teaching, I spent time time worrying I’d be asked to answer a question instead of paying attention to what the teacher was saying. #LDchat
Lori Edmonds @LoriEdmondsPhD
@MsQirjaqi A lot of newcomers worry about getting called on. Teachers can help by always allowing students to talk in small groups before having a class discussion. #LDchat
Lori Edmonds @LoriEdmondsPhD
@MsQirjaqi Another helpful activity is to give weekly conversation topics for students to have with their family in their NL before having a class discussion on that topic. This allows the student to activate prior knowledge and helps to foster a school relationship with the family. #LDchat

Love it!It gives students time to mentally prepare & think in their native language.Whereas if they're not prepped,they would have to think in their native language, formulate a thought in their NL, and then translate the sentence to English in a short time frame.#LDchat
