The school that I am doing my service-learning at has a lot of hispanic minorities in the class. I love how the teacher doesn't give them any special attention (unless it is needed) while in front of the whole class, but does have personal interviews and reading times for the students who struggle learning in the english language. The students also go to a private tutor during the regular english lesson to practice the spelling and other english assignments with a professional.
One thing I really like is that the teacher has the students write down words they don't know or aren't familiar with while they go throughout the day, then she spends time with the students answering what those words are and helping them understand the context. This helps the students learn words that they know will be used in the classroom. This makes the learning process even better for the students which help them remain on the same level (or closer to it) as the rest of the class.
