My philosophy of teaching ESOL (subject to change)

In the title of this post I said "subject to change"... that's because, at this point, I feel I know very little about ESOL. I have had several college courses about language acquisition, but this class that I'm enrolled in now, called Methods of Teaching ESOL, is the first one addressing teaching. My philosophy of teaching ESOL is very similar (at this point) to my philosophy of teaching in any other classroom. I believe that all children are capable of learning. Using a variety of teaching techniques and catering to various learning styles, I believe that any information can be taught to EL's. One of the things I've learned so far is that it's important to keep in mind that they are learning a brand new language, so many hand motions, signs with pictures, and especially a consistent routine throughout the day will aide in making the students feel comfortable and might open the doorway to learning. Taking everything one day at a time and not pressuring students is the key to success.... take all of this with a grain of salt, and check back in the future, I may have changed my tune a bit after I learn more about this area of teaching.
