I agree with this article that creating a welcoming environment to EL learners. I strive to make my room welcoming to my students by creating assignments that are engaging to all my students. I want to learn about them, so I make assignments that they can create things that show me about them and where they come from. I also like to pair my EL students with friends that speak the same language so that in case they are not getting what I say then I can have a student help in the translating the assignment to make them feel I care about what they do.
