The learning environment in a classroom with non-English speakers does look different from a regular classroom. With a variety of resources and teaching tools, new language learning needs support. This question's answer needs to give clarity to the interviewer if you can support ESL students or not. Giving examples of how you have done this before will help.

"In the last school, I brought in Chinese and English cues to help the Chinese international students. By recalling vocabulary and enhancing language concepts, practice happened every day through online text, videos, and other activity introductions."

In my classroom, an ESL classroom is different than the norm. I have more visuals all around the classroom. My room should be the teacher as well.
Shane's Feedback
Yes. I think educators sometimes think that elementary classrooms are the only place that should have visuals. But, this could not be further from the truth.
