UNDERSTANDING THE DIVERSE NEEDS OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS
Keywords:
Diverse needs, ELL, inclusive and effective learning environment, language proficiency, language gap.Abstract
English Language Learners (ELLs) bring a rich tapestry of linguistic and cultural diversity to our classrooms. Acknowledging and meeting their unique needs is paramount for fostering an inclusive and effective learning environment. By understanding the challenges and opportunities presented by linguistic and cultural diversity, educators can tailor their teaching methods to create an atmosphere conducive to the success of ELLs. One of the key challenges faced by ELLs is language proficiency. Language serves as the medium through which knowledge is conveyed, making it crucial for educators to adopt strategies that bridge the language gap.
