Teaching ELL's can be challenging when we lack in resources that are essential to ELL's such as visual resources. According to a research conducted by Jenson "Visuals are important for remembering information." (Jensen, 2008, pg. 104). "ELL's often have difficulty processing auditory information and so instruction that is supported with visual clues is more beneficial to them." (Nieto & Bode, 2008, pg. 42). I am eager to get my students in love with learning. I will provide these students with visual resources to enhance their education and their love for the English language. These materials will allow for me to show education videos, create exciting and entertaining visual aids, and even display anchor charts and work that they could see as it is being discussed.
