Hello everyone, welcome to my VBlog 3! We are almost at the end with our
VBlogs. For this interview I decided to interview my mentor teacher, Ms. Adams,
she currently teaches 2nd grade Math and Science in Hartsfield
Elementary. She has been teaching for about 4 years. She is a young teacher who
is always open to new strategies that will help her students’ progress. During
this interview I was able to see how much passion she has to make her students
learn.
Ms. Adams explained the strategies that she uses in her classroom and
what works well with her students. She uses a lot of vocabulary with them as
well as she explained to me that sometimes as a teacher you have to go all the
way back to teach phonics. Ms. Adams mentioned something interesting in our conversation that ELL interacting with
other is important to her in her classroom. According to Wright (2015) in the
Cognitive Approach to SLA Interaction Hypothesis is very important to the ELLs
so they are able to interact with others. In the classroom that I am now my ELL
students are in an intermediate level, so I have seen progress in each of them.
One of my students still is developing his second language I try to help him as
much as I can.
I was able to see that ELL students don’t have the same support as
others do. As I have learned they tend to be forgotten in class. That is why it
is important that teachers do a research and get to know their students background and see where each student stand
with a new language this is what Wright ,(2015), mentioned.
