ESL Students
Strategies for Success with ESL Students Across the Curriculum
Most all of us at Kingsborough have students in our classes who hail from foreign
countries, or who speak languages other than English at home. These learners can enrich
our classrooms with their diverse backgrounds, and can also raise questions about
how and what we teach. This group will be an exploratory forum focused on working
with students across the curriculum whose first language is not English. Innovative
pedagogies and practices will be discussed and deliberated over; expected topics will
include: responding to first language interference in student writing, strategies
for increased student participation, and the psychology of the multilingual classroom.
