Cultural Awareness


Getting To Know the Culture of Your Language Learner

Getting to know your English language learner is a huge step in the right direction to bridge social and academic gaps in the learning environment. Please take a few moments to check into cultural factors, views of family, religion and heirarchy.  Not understanding a language learner's background may be the source of academic and social chasms in the classroom.
