BACKGROUND

Pellino, Karen (2007) in teach-nology.com said, “Students with English as a second language constitute a significant percentage of the population of our nation’s school. This population continues to increase more rapidly than those native English-speaking students. The language minority population has a high drop out rate. These students are also among the lowest ranking in academic achievement and expectations. They represent an at-risk population faced with a wide range of challenges”. As a result of that, teachers need to do something with that high percentage that have to learn English as a second language, for that reason is important to use the ideal strategies to help that percentage that need to understand English as a easy second language.
