Abstract

Research data will be presented on a service-learning experience through which teacher candidates (TCs) worked with ELLs from a local middle school.  Even though TCs expressed concerns on their ability to communicate with the ELLs and their families, they engaged with them and confronted their own perceived barriers.  TCs learned to overcome the communication barrier to implement quality academic experiences and in the process developed caring relationships with ELLs.
