I was browsing the web the other day (what else is new!) and I stumbled upon a great article by Rusul Alrubail. She answers what she calls the myths of ESL learners.
The 5 myths she addresses are:
- Students can’t use their L1 in class
- Students need to be corrected when they’re speaking English
- All learners are immigrants
- A student must assimilate with the North American culture if they want to learn properly
- All learners share similar backgrounds, status, and culture.
