A teacher starts the beginning of the school year with 25 sixth graders, all of whom are proficient in the English language. By the fourth month of school, Josefina joins the classroom. She has just entered the United States and does not speak a word of English. How does this teacher modify her lessons for this student? How does the teacher make Josefina feel comfortable in the established classroom culture? How can the teacher make learners feel comfortable within the classroom?
