How can teachers ease the transition for English language learners?
- Assign a classroom buddy.
- Find books on the students' countries and display their flags.
- Look for ways the students can share their culture/language (such as bilingual books and music).
- Provide books in their language, interpreters, bilingual dictionaries, and access to electronic translators.
- Make communication cards and put them on a ring so that students can convey their basic needs, such as if they feel sick or need help.
