"Listen carefully to discover what we need help with."(157). Children who are speaking English as a second language are already struggling with learning. This quote stuck out to me because it is important to know what exactly the students need help with. Helping students accomplish things which they have already accomplished is useless and it waste time which can be used towards accomplishing new goals. Understanding where the student is coming from and pin pointing their weaknesses helps to ensure further achievement.
I have never experienced English as a second language, however I believe that it is important to help them with their weaknesses. I believe when you can target a weakness then it helps to strengthening and improve this weakness. With these improvements happening it helps to push for further academic achievement in the classroom. These are all positive qualities which occur in the high school classroom which help to further development.
