You can access the final publication draft of my article, "5 Tips to Manage an ESL Classroom," through the following link: Final Publication Draft. This draft explores how effective classroom management can enhance our understanding of each student's unique needs and offers best practices for teaching in a multilingual environment.

The concepts discussed in the podcast and article align closely with my overall innovation plan, which focuses on implementing ePortfolios in emergent bilingual classrooms. This plan equips educators with strategies for utilizing progressive education to enhance language acquisition while integrating blended learning meaningfully. It encourages student choice and fosters a growth mindset for academic development.

My innovation plan focuses on creating a sustainable and impactful ePortfolio in a sheltered classroom, which is valuable to students, teachers, peers, and the ESL department. It improves communication, increases student choice and voice, and prepares students for real-world experiences (Fernandez, 2022). Additionally, the ePortfolio promotes a growth mindset, builds self-esteem, and enhances students' motivation to embrace challenges. An ePortfolio serves as both a product and a process, reflecting students' learning and achievements while showcasing their work in English linguistics.

Thank you for exploring the importance of classroom management in the ESL classroom with me. We can provide a positive classroom atmosphere by continuously seeking innovative and relevant ways to improve the learning environment. Reinforcing good behavior, making learning enjoyable, and being flexible can create an engaging environment that supports language learning.
