Teacher should know about their English Language Learners (ELLs) who have difficulty with learning English. Teacher also awareness of their English Language Learners backgrounds and the expected progress of language learning then offer them the help that is needed.
English Language Learners luck in resource to test the ELLs in their L1 for learning disabilities. as a result, these learning disabled learners will continue to have difficulties,
According to this journal, this journal study about diagnosed student learning disabilities and decide is it learning disabilities or language issue. As soon as students with learning disabilities is diagnosed, it's better. so that, the treatment can designed for the student who have learning disabilities to English learner or they will have in overcoming. In addition, some teacher who are not trained to understand how second language learning takes place may hing that the ELL is show learner or just was not yet acquired enough English.
Since, learning disabilities are best treated earlier rather than later, it is important that all teacher involved with ELL students be aware of how they are coming along in their learning. It is also helpful to test Ells in their L1 to see if a learning disability exists in the L1. Teacher can obtain more background information regarding an ELL's diagnosis wil allow the teacher and student to make the needed adjustments in teaching style and learning style (Fisher 2009:18)

Yeah, we as the future teacher must prepare ourself towards the students from now. When we teach, we should know first about the students' priblems, so that we can design the good technique that we want to apply in that class, especially for the disabilities students, that's interesting information Elfi.
BalasHapusi think its very interesting for the teacher to teach the students because we as the future teacher (insyaallah) should know about student ability in learning english. so that they can understand it
