Given the pervasive manner in which culture influences thought and behavior, it is not hard to imagine that it plays a significant role in the learning process. In fact, almost every aspect of the teaching and learning process is culturally influenced, such as attitudes about what is important to learn and decisions about how learning is best accomplished and assessed. While student diversity provides a rich educational resource, it also adds to the complexity of teaching in a standards-based context. Nevertheless, there are many opportunities that cultural diversity provides. The interaction phase leads to the practice and application element, which requires teachers to provide frequent opportunities for students to practice new language skills in context and design instructional materials and activities that allows learning goals to be attainable by the students with wide differences in their abilities to see, hear, speak, move, read, write, and understand English. The lesson delivery element illustrates how teachers can appropriately pace the lesson and provide for active engagement. The review and assessment element focuses on establishing standards and including language-based and content-based evaluations. All of these elements are important in designing classroom instruction that embraces the needs of English language learners.
