Michele L. Lockley reflects on an experience working with Spanish-speaking students in another classroom. She found that while she struggled with speaking Spanish fluently, she was able to use strategies to understand unknown words and follow along with a book being read. This revealed to her that her Spanish knowledge was greater than she realized. She realized how frustrating it would be for someone with no Spanish understanding. Going forward as a teacher, she recognizes the importance of facilitating understanding for non-English speaking students. While the challenge is great, she has some Spanish ability and will develop a plan tailored to each student's needs to help them learn English, and perhaps improve her own Spanish in the process.

Los Ojos Nuevos
La oportunidades por trabajando con otras es muy especial. Upon entering the other classroom, I knew we were going to be dealing with the Spanish language, entonces, I didnt have any idea of what feelings I would experience. Desde el lesiones principio, comprndanlo mucho que hablar, pero no es completamente. However, I did find myself using strategies to figure out unknown words. Upon our teachers first read of the book, I was surprised that I was able to follow along. Using my strategies, I was able to figure out unknown words, pero, mis compaeras no iremos un tiempo fciles. Traducida para ellas. Consiguiente, I discovered, on a personal level, that I was closer to an intermediate knowledge of Spanish that I had originally thought, I knew enough to work through the situation, while having fun. I could also see how easily someone who did not possess any understanding of Espaol could become frustrated very easily. That is would have to be my most important understanding, as I journey to become a teacher. If I have students in my class who do not speak or understand English, how am I going to facilitate their understandings? I have an edge in that I have the ability to communicate, although not proficiently, in Spanish. I will need to take that knowledge and use it to devise a plan based on each individuals needs and learning styles in regards to language. In the end, they will acquire knowledge and understanding of the English language, and just maybe, I will acquire greater knowledge and understanding of the Spanish language. S, lo se la cerca esta difcil, pero mis estudiantes y yo iremos viajarlo juntos. Verdad?
