Hello everyone, I am currently a regular education teacher pursuing my masters in English Language Teaching and Learning. For one of the assignments we have to reach out to people outside the online courseroom, so here I am!
We have been studying and discussions issues in the assessment of ELL students. One of the key issues that sticks out to me is making assessments applicable and appropriate to each different student. With so many varying levels of English, native languages, backgrounds, cultures, etc. I worry about accommodating each student while still maintaining the goal of the assessment and keeping it appropriate for the student's grade level.
What are some strategies you have seen be successful in a mixed classroom that might be made up of mostly native English speakers, as well as ELL students with varying levels of English proficiency?
