1. I work at The Boy's Club of New York, located in Queens. I work with dozens of children, from various cultural backgrounds. I find it very interesting working with these students, and very enjoyable. I learn something new everyday. In my particular program, I work with ELL students, students with special needs, and behavioral problems, and I learn something from each and every student. Sometimes, it is not always me teaching the students, but it is them teaching me.
2. At my place of work, I work with students that are in ELL programs.
3. I do not have experience in teaching ELL students, I have observed them in the classroom and in my place of work. I have done activities with these students and assessed one student.
4. When observing last semester, I found the ELL students working twice as hard as students that are not in ELL programs. They want to learn how to read and write and they are so much more motivated to learning the English language than the students that are already familiar with the language. I feel that students that are not ELL students take for granted the fact they know the English language better than the ELL students.
5. The problems I found them encountering is keeping up with the other students. They tend to fall behind because of their lack of knowledge in the English language.
6. In classrooms I have observed they have ELL teachers that come in and work with the ELL students. They construct different activities with these students, such as reading a story, writing assignments, or just verbal communication with the students.
7. I would hold sessions outside of the classroom to help these students. To put these students in a more restricted environment, to help them focus and offer them one-on-one attention.
