    • Immigration
    • Culture & acculturation
    • "Multiplied challenges" of under-served ELLs
      • Significance of language
        • Who here has studied a language other than English? Who here speaks one? (And how can you tell if someone's American?) 
        • Who here speaks a second (or third? Dare we hope for fourth??) language? What was the context of learning it? Using it? 
        • The challenges of learning another language: mental, physical, emotional – even perceptual! See Ta-Nehisi Coates on learning French; his commenters are even more useful!
      • Examples of things we don't think about
      • Language is more than words; hearing is more than de-coding sound waves – think about language and culture via Amy Walker's 21 Accents video. (Spanish accents video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlK-neOypDM
      • The significance of English – it's not easy to acquire

        • Think about how you learned it. Example: 'If I was president' / 'If I were president' – formal instruction? Modeling? Or did you never learn it? Could you explain it to someone who was learning it for the first time?
        • English as a high-stakes language (and set of cultural conventions) to learn
        • Example of 'push back': English-only laws via Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English-only_movement
      • Flipping the script: We are now in class in Haiti, and I will be speaking Kreyol...very badly, but I'm thinking I'll get away with it....
      • Working with ELLs
    • Closure: Meet people! Go new places! Try new things! Keep growing your cultural competence! An interesting concept: http://www.language-exchanges.org/
