In my ESL classroom many of my students come to school not knowing how to speak English. Spanish is the primary language of the majority of these students. Learning a new language, let alone advancing in their education, is very difficult especially if they don't have materials that adapt to every learning style. They are eager learners, but need to see their primary language, and the English language in a meaningful, connecting way.
