I plan to support the ELLs' L1 (first language) by incorporating their L1 into school activities and providing more resources for them. There are only benefits in providing the ELLs with books in their home language, adding bilingual posters throughout the classroom, and providing worksheets in both English and L1. I would also incorporate the L1 into the calendar routine. Furthermore, the ELL can have a few minutes each week to teach the class new sentences and words. It could be called, "the word of the week." This would not only foster the ELLs' confidence and development of their home language, but the whole class would benefit from learning new words and sentences in a new language.
