ENGLISH WITH NEWS

U.S. Schools Struggle with Influx of Migrant Students

In recent months, U.S. public schools have faced significant challenges due to the arrival of over half a million school-age migrant children since 2022. This surge has led to overcrowded classrooms, teacher shortages, and heightened social tensions, particularly in areas unaccustomed to large immigrant populations. Educators are striving to address language barriers and the unique needs of these students, often without adequate resources or training.

Key Words:

1. Overcrowding (n.) - A situation where too many people are in one place, leading to congestion.​

   • Example: ​The influx of new students has resulted in overcrowding in many urban schools.​
     

2. Paraprofessional (n.) - An educational worker who is not licensed to teach but assists teachers and supports students.​

   • Example: ​Paraprofessionals play a crucial role in helping ESL students adapt to new classroom environments.
     ​

3. Language Barrier (n.) - A difficulty in communication experienced by people who do not share a common language.​

   • Example: ​Teachers are developing new strategies to overcome language barriers in increasingly diverse classrooms.​

Addressing these challenges requires comprehensive strategies, including hiring more ESL teachers, providing cultural competency training, and fostering inclusive environments to support both migrant and native students. Collaborative efforts between educators, policymakers, and communities are essential to ensure all students receive quality education. (SOURCE)
