Focus: The struggle an ESL teacher faces in the classroom and how she modifies her lessons, techniques, and behaviors to overcome the challenges that she is faced with.

            It always appears that a student is the one that faces a struggle in the classroom, whether it is with learning a new lesson, the work that they are given, their peers, or with their teacher. However, we don't hear much about problems that teachers face in their own classrooms. I have conducted an interview with an ESL teacher to research how she deals with the challenges that faces and the techniques and behaviors she uses to overcome those challenges. Most ESL children struggle in their regular classroom. It is the teachers job to be able to modify their lesson. You will see how one ESL teacher modifies her lesson and behavior to enhance her students' learning.
