People should consider going into ESL because the amount of students that are becoming or who are entering our schools who speak another language is only increasing. And what you learn in this program will benefit all of your students, so not just your multilingual learners. But these are good practices for all of your students. So even if you don't have any multilingual learners in your classroom in the future, you will still learn amazing practices from ESL to benefit all your students.
