Annotation
This study uses instructional methods, which reflect experiences met by real English language learning children (ELLs) in real US classrooms, in order to subject pre-service and/or in-service teachers to the varied emotions encountered by ELLs in their class, -by deferring them to a Dutch lecture-, and to enable them to examine ELLs emotions and needs more carefully, whilst diffusing the message that learning obtstacles are superable.
