Day 12

Bilinguals
Barbara's TESOL Presentation

What I like about the term Bilingual is that it empowers the speakers of other languages than English. I have the feeling that some of my students might be Spanish speakers or speakers of some other languages. I want to let them remember that their own languages are also worth learning. I want to learn some of their languages as well. That way, not only will I deepen my own understanding of English language and the practice of reading, I will also learn a new language myself.
