Linguistic and Cultural Diversity

Our classrooms are filled with students who come from diverse backgrounds.  When we get to know our students and their families, we strengthen the home-school connection, which research has reported leads to increased student achievement.  Using information gained the textbook readings and the required article, Can Preschool Children be Taught a Second Language?, explain strategies that effectively support students who are learning a second language.  You can use the textbook and the recommended article, Responding to Linguistic and Cultural Diversity, to support your discussion.

Your 300-350 word post should be formatted to include the following in order:

  • Three ways to support children learning a second language in the classroom
  • Two ways to support the families of children learning a second language
  • One example of a resource you can use to help plan for children learning a second language, with a summary and justification of your choice
  • One question you still have about learning a second language

Refer to Chapter 4 of the text and additional resources, and draw from your own insights.  Citations must be properly formatted in APA style.

preview of the answer…

There are several ways through which teachers and parents can assist kids in learning the second language. One way of doing this is through teaching the second in classrooms. If the teacher just understands one language, he or she should use signs and smiles in class to teach the kids the second language. At the same time, they should encourage play in classrooms among kids. This enables kids to learn the second language in class through playing with others
