ESL Stereotypes
As Richland School District Two continues to grow culturally within our communities, we must also do the same within the classrooms. Three of nineteen elementary school’s demographics prove that the English Second Language Learners, ESL, population represents the second highest population of these particular schools. Currently, within the 242 square miles, businesses and housing developments are on a rise which will constitute an influx of student the population as well. As data prove the ESL population is growing and the staff is needed to mirror those demographics.

To break ground in assuring that the students are receiving an adequate, equitable education, the district must have a purposeful intent to recruit minority males and others

    With these key components in the abstract, the funders would be able to see the Far West Elementary School is an elementary school who seeks funding to improve their staff, curriculum, and materials. The abstract should also state that the school has a population of 700 with 30% of that being Asians who have recently migrated. This shows an urgent need to provide help for these students with limited English proficiency (LEP). By showing the large increase of Asians in a short period, Far West Elementary can show why there is an urgent need to train staff and ensure they have adequate materials to teach these children with LEP.…

In this essay the discussion will cover abilities an ELL teacher should have, the role parents and teachers have within the classroom, and changes and benefits of SIOP protocol for native ELL students.…

    Most workers who work in a clothing store or a store in general are being told to follow the minority customers around the store because they believe that all minorities steal which is not true. I am a minority and I do not steal, just because most minority steal does not mean all of them steal. Being woman males think that we cannot do the things that they do and that we should stay home to raise children, cook, and clean. When I was in the Army National Guard my first unit had an even mixture of males and…

    The society of the United States of America is culturally diverse. This diversity reflects on the demographics that our schools have. Every school leader needs to understand the diversity that exists at their schools. Understanding the diversity will determine how professional educators meet the difficulties or handles everyday situations that a school generates. Understanding this cultural composition is not enough. There must be a group of leaders, teachers, researchers and other stakeholders committed to deal with the educational processes that English language learners face.…

    The purpose of the paper is to introduce teachers to up-to-date, culturally responsive resources suitable for English language learners from diverse backgrounds. The percentage of English language learners, or ELLs, continue to increase in great numbers in US classrooms. It is essential for teachers to understand that the needs of ELLs can vary greatly from those in a mainstream, native-speaking classroom. Thus, teachers working with a diverse population must know how to find effective and appropriate resources for ELLs in order to set them up for success in the classroom and beyond. Additionally, it is important for teachers to know that no one resource is appropriate for all ELLS as there is a wide diversity within a multiculturally group.…

    We all have encountered some type of stereotype or prejudices. A stereotype that I had to face was age prejudice by me being so young sometimes people don't set the high expectations for you that other people would at an older age because they expect for you to make mistakes. At times my mindset isn't where most kids are at my age. I skipped pre k and I am supposed to be in the 8th grade. When I tell people my age they be like " OMG you are young to be the grade that you are in" this is a perfect example of what I am stating that people sometimes think that you have to be average and can't go over and beyond your years.…

    Everyone has their own opinions on what beauty consists of. It is in cliché expression “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” This means beauty can come from within a person’s soul or from the outside of looking at woman’s body. As it just happened, saying the word “beauty” on most occasions comes hand in hand with the word woman. In the story “A Woman’s Beauty: Put – Down or Power Source” by Susan Sontag. Sontag states; “To be called beautiful is thought to name something essential to women’s character and concerns. (In contrast to men whose essence is to be strong or effective, or competent.)” (Sontag.488.1) The word beautiful may not seem synonymous with men in 2015 but handsome is, as the word “handsome” feels more masculine.…

    This presentation was informative about ELL’s in Florida. First, I learned about our district’s demographics. Florida is “ranked 3rd in ELL population.” Most of the ELL students speak Spanish and come from low economic backgrounds. During the presentation, the presenters were informed about the area and connected the information to our lives. Next, I learned the reason why people move to the United States. For example, for better careers, to escape war, to escape the government, and over all they are looking for a better life. Most people call this “the American Dream.” Newcomers initially feel happy and excited. After, a little while they have a culture shock and feel scared. These students are transitioning into a huge change, and they might not know the common language. The best way to make these students feel like they are at home is to help them in the classroom. Teachers play a vital role in a student’s life, teachers help mold and shape children. ELL students should be on an ELL plan, for they can receive services to help them succeed.…

    America is a country with cultural diversity and different ethnics; therefore, there must be serious conflicts due to differences in cultures. In other words, these differences and conflicts have gradually created stereotypes within people, especially within Americans who consider themselves superiority and people from Asia, Mexico, Africa, etc. who are considered as inferiority. These have been perpetuated in popular culture including film, TV, advertising, music, and consumer products. “Film and television have been notorious in disseminating images of racial minorities which establish for audiences what these groups look like, how they behave, and, in essence, “who they are.”” (qtd. in Signs of Life in the USA 542). In fact, Americans are…
