Stories from former ELL students

http://www.celt.sunysb.edu/ell/default.php
I found this extremely interesting. It has the accounts of six former ELL students, however you do need Quick Time for this to work but it will work without it, on my computer only four of the videos worked, just click the play arrow and listen to them tell you what their life as an ELL student was like. It is helpful for ELL students to find support and encouragement by listening to the struggles and successes of former students.

I agree with you. Besides being of a great value to teachers and current ELL students, the videos should be used to show other students, native English speakers, how hard it is to come to US knowing other language as your native and struggle to learn English, do well in school, and fit in.
