Teaching Math in English to a Student Fresh from Ukraine? There’s no app for that

< 1 min read

Megan Sommers, a teacher at Allderdice High School, engages her class of English Language Learner (ELL) students with creative writing prompts to help them become comfortable with English. In a November lesson, she showed an image of a message in a bottle and asked her students what they would do if they found it. Using Google Translate, Sommers translated the question into multiple languages, including Spanish, Russian, and Arabic, to ensure all students could understand. Afterward, she encouraged them to write their responses in English, helping them build their language skills.
