I Am the Immigrant in My Classroom.

Gullingsrud, Miles

Voices from the Middle, v6 n1 p30-37 Sep 1998

Discusses how a teacher of sixth- and seventh-grade primarily Mexican immigrants: (1) models being a second-language learner by working at Spanish; (2) provides an enjoyable school experience; (3) learns about students' culture and gives it respect; (4) seeks a detailed picture of where each English learner is academically; and (5) cultivates a corps of language brokers.
