I live in an urban school district in CT with my school having 40 percent English Language Learners and at least 200 identified special education students. These students are wonderful. I teach a world language and ESL. My students, as well as my struggling learners, can use plenty of visual aid support in the classroom. I enjoy doing many cooperative group assignments where students research, discuss, and write about various topics, especially ones related to culture. Often times, we rely on students holding a chart paper in front of the room, not having enough room to present, students who are extremely shy or are reluctant to speak in the new language, to share their work with the rest of the class.
