Schools play a crucial role in supporting ELL students by engaging with their families and providing resources in their native languages, which helps bridge communication gaps and involve families in the educational process.
Schools should offer support services like tutoring and counseling to help ELL students overcome language barriers, academic challenges, and the emotional stresses of adapting to a new environment.
Professional development in ESL strategies helps teachers understand how to support ELL students by addressing their unique needs in language acquisition and academic performance.
Schools can foster an inclusive environment by encouraging ELL students to work with their peers, promoting language practice, and helping them feel part of the school community.
Culturally responsive teaching practices involve recognizing and valuing students’ cultural backgrounds, which helps make the curriculum more relevant and engaging for ELL students.
