My students are Spanish, French, Russian, Arabic, Chinese and Albanian. As of last week, I got three students from Spain and two from China with no knowledge of the English language. My students are 6th - 8th graders coming to this country with no English. In addition to being ELL's, I have at least 20 students with special education learning issues, as well as behavior problems. My goal is to engage all students to keep them on task. My beginners are the hardest; I have started putting them on the computer to learn simple English, as well as prepare separate lessons in English and their home language to help them make connections to the language. I work at a Title I school. The school is 50% Hispanic, 40% African American, and the rest is mixed. All students qualify for free lunch. Everyone works hard at my school, but I lack sufficient books to support the ELL population I teach.
