The school library is an obvious place for students learning English as a Second Language (ESL) to play a significant role in their academic success, providing access to books, multimedia, and technology that support language learning. Beyond physical resources, school libraries are finding innovative ways to include ELLs and their families in library programming that assists with navigating a new language and culture. An important part of serving a diverse community is getting to know who they are and what they need. If you have English language learners (ELLs) in your school, you may have questions about how best to teach and support them. You already understand the importance of getting to know your students and learning about ELLs specific and unique needs-their strengths, challenges, and background experiences-is especially important. Knowing these things will help you respond with the right support and create spaces that are welcoming and safe for ELLs to flourish.
