While reading through the unit, \"Teachers and Learners,\" I was struck by the importance of teachers creating a safe environment for their students. Building a safe environment would mean encouraging questions from students, avoiding crossing cultural lines foreign to the teacher, and correcting students gently (e.g. avoid using sarcasm). Without a safe environment for student to work in, students will be unable to provide their best work and may be afraid to practice key aspects of language learning such as experimentation, questioning ideas they don't fully understand, and maintaining motivation. As in any classroom, an ELL classroom must be safe for maximum learning to take place.
