Whats the biggest difference between English-speaking students and ESL students?
Mr. Yáñez: There is a difference because the regular student only has to think about the work. Some of my ESL students know how to do the work in the class, but they don’t know what it is they are being asked to do. It’s my job to let them know what the class is about and tell them what they are supposed to do. I have students from different countries who come very eager to learn. They already know a lot in school, but because they don’t know the language, they can’t progress here. I feel better when they learn a little bit of English, and they can depend on themselves.
