English Language Learners, such as my Hutterian students, struggle to overcome a variety of learning barriers. I examined a variety of instructional methods to determine what would help them. The first aspect I explored was how English Language Learners acquire literacy skills. I also investigated how to expand my students' background knowledge. Furthermore, I studied how to minimize the consequences of teaching kindergarten to grade 4 in a multigrade classroom. The final learning barrier was how to obtain beneficial instructional methods on my school's inadequate budget. I am developing my understanding of the best teaching practices to help Hutterian students.
