Being in ESL

Ever since I was a child I was always in ESL (English Second Language). Since I was always in ESL, I struggled with keeping up with the rest of my class. I always spoke Spanish at home and as a kid that messed up my vocabulary and grammar but even with that, I thought I didn’t need the class. even my ESL teachers said that I didn’t need the class. Eventually, once I got to a certain age, I realized that I need the class and when I came to that realization, I started to compare the regular classes to my ESL classes. when I realized in 8th grade, I compared things like the books we were reading. in regular classes, they had large hardcover books while in our class we had a small paper book. My experiences with ESL didn’t help me. all it did was make it harder for me once I got to high school and didn’t have ESL. I think that the education that America gives isn’t sufficient for students that speak different languages at home. All the education that they currently give does it limit the student to what they know when ESL isn’t accessible to them. My personal experience went from reading small 50-page books to hard-cover 350-page books. It was up to 9th grade that I finally differentiated there, their and they’re an even today I still confuse them. I believe that students in ESL do not get equal education compared to students in regular classes.

  1. Once I was in China, I felt that I didn’t need English lessons either. I thought I would never need it, but unfortunately I was wrong. After I came to the United States, I had to learn all English from the beginning. I’m also a esl student before, i can feel how hard the grammar conversion between the two languages could be, and Chinese would be even more difficult. I have had many Spanish classmates, and they told that there are actually many similarities between Spanish and English, whether in grammar or spelling. But Chinese is completely another thing to English. Even the letters are not the same. I have to leave everything I learned and start over like a baby.
