Case: ESL "Pull Out" Program
Mrs. Green's fourth graders are experiencing an interesting year. These particular nine and ten year olds have grown up together in the community and have been classmates throughout previous school years. However, this year a new student has joined their class. Lee, is a friendly young man who is learning English as his second language. Mrs. Green has referred Lee to the school's ESL (English as a Second Language) program director. The new system involves a "pull out" program that removes the ESL student from the regular classroom for individual tutoring. Mrs. Green has been careful to follow all of the guidelines set by the ESL director. Mrs. Green agrees that Lee needs individual attention as he acquires the English language. However, she is experiencing problems with Lee prior to his appointed tutoring time and when he returns from his individual instruction. He continues to display disruptive behavior when he is in Mrs. Green's classroom. She considers Lee's behavior to be distracting to the other students in her class. When she is presenting content area lesson material to the students, Lee's outbursts and comments result in off task behavior by the other students. Mrs. Green's frustration with Lee's behavior has made her question the good intentions of the ESL "pull out" program.
Questions:
1. Is an ESL "pull out" program appropriate for second language learners?
2. How should Mrs. Green deal with Lee's classroom behavior?
3. Should Mrs. Green academically accommodate Lee while he is in her classroom?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I feel like the ESL pull out program is appropriate for second language learners. It gives them that one on one time to focus on the learned language. Since Mrs. Green is experiencing problems with the ESL student maybe she should talk with the student and explain to him that his disruptive behavior needs to stop. He is there to learn just as well as the other students. These possible outbursts in class might come form boredom or not connecting to the English language. Mrs. Green might want to talk with the students' ESL teacher as well and see what his behavior is like when he is not in her classroom. Yes, of course Mrs. Green should accommodate Lee while he is in her classroom. That is her responsibility as his teacher to meet the needs of all students and this includes Lee.
Below is an article that mentions the advantages of the ESL pull out program.

| Comments: I love how you brought up possible reasons for his outbursts. I definitely think it could be due to his not connecting to the English language, since he is still learning it. I think a one-on-one conversation with him about it would fix the problem. |

| Comments: I appreciate the response to this solution. The solution answered every question the case asked. It was relevant to the care and reasonable easy for the teacher to implement. This is an opinionated case so (s)he supplied he/r opinion plus an article to support their answer. I like the pull out method as well, I'm just learning about it but I feel like it can be beneficial for the student. For his behavior, I agree that talking to him first is the key, we may not know what is going on and it could be something simple that the teacher can fix without any more issues. |
