English language learners in American elementary schools have multiple factors that affect their English language acquisition and overall learning in an elementary classroom in the United States, including their native language and culture.
Research three United States scholarly articles found in the Grand Canyon University library that relate to the role that language, culture, and diversity play in the learning process in the elementary classroom.
In a 750 word essay:
• Summarize the 3 articles. Make sure to use 3 scholarly articles, NOT web sites with information. Use the Grand Canyon University library
• Don’t write out the title of the article in your review, just cite it. (Don’t say “In the article Language development and children, Dr. Susan Smith says….” Instead, just say “Smith (2016) says…”
• Explain the unique aspects of elementary students’ language development.
• Reflect upon the role that language, culture, and diversity will have in your future classroom.
• Reflect on how you would address diversity in your future classroom.
