But he's only been in the U.S. for a year -- what can I expect from him now?" — "Ho... more »w can I help my ELL students understand complex social studies concepts when their English isn't strong?"
"I hear my ELL students speaking to their friends in English; why can't they do the work in my class?"
"Should I advise parents to speak to their children in their native language at home -- or is it better for them to try to speak English at home?"
"How do I assess ELL students' progress in my social studies classroom?"
