Understanding the academic and social experiences of English language learners in home economics

DeRoo, Kelly Anne

This study aims to understand how English Language Learners (ELL) experience Home Economics courses and what teachers can do to support them. I conducted my research by facilitating qualitative interviews and focus groups to answer the following research questions; 1. What is the social and academic experience of an ELL student in Home Economics course? 2. What can teachers do to help ELL students feel welcome, and be successful in Home Economics courses? This paper outlines the steps of the research process, findings from the research and reflection on my experience as a novice researcher and grad student in the HEEL program.
