ESL Class And Teachers Help Students Tackle Slang
Outside of school, teacher Miguel De Mott’s students have an easier time communicating. His students are bilingual and at home, most of their parents speak Spanish. “That can sometimes be a barrier,” said De Mott, an ESL or English as a second language teacher at Marion High School. Four flags hang in De Mott’s classroom: American, Mexican, Puerto Rican and Chinese. He hangs a flag for the countries of origin his students represent. If they leave or graduate, the bilingual students sign the flag and send it with the student. “This is a program that helps whether they’re Spanish (speaking) or not,” De Mott said. “It’s not a color thing, it’s a language thing.”
