Name of Podcast: Diverse students vs schools and society
Host: Rossi, Priscilla, and Julie

Priscilla- Hi guys, my name is Priscilla. My major is Spanish, and I am in the STEP program for Adolescent Education. I took this class not only because it was required but also because it’s so important for future educators to learn how to be inclusive in their classrooms and teach others to be accepting and knowledgeable about other cultures.
-This project with the students in Seville has been a truly unique experience. Despite the limited communication, the little we've had has been a source of joy and discovery. It's been a thrill to learn about them and their school in Seville, Spain.
-I have learned quite a lot in this class, learning about different classroom structures, learning to ensure everyone feels included and comfortable. Learning about assignments and projects that can be done to include other cultures. Not only to have inclusivity in the classroom but so students have that knowledge about other cultures.
-My strengths involve ensuring everyone feels accepted and seen in my classroom and that their self-esteem does not decrease. My only weakness now is not knowing other languages besides Spanish, so if students speak and only understand a language I don’t know, it would be hard to communicate with them. I would have to find someone reliable to help me communicate with them.
-I am very grateful for this class and to have the ability to learn many new skills, lessons and more that will all be useful for the future!

Rossi- Hi Everyone! My name is Rossi, my major is history and I’m in STEP for Adolescent Education. I took this course because it’s essential to learn and adapt on how to make a classroom environment more inclusive and open to all students. It’s important to help students express themselves whenever it's their languages or background in order to build acceptance and comfort in a classroom.
-Working with the students our group was assigned to in MLF Seville was an interesting experience. Although we haven't met much with the students we are working with due to conflicts and scheduling, we were able to learn many new facts and things about the students. We learned that most students are learning English as a second language and at times may have trouble understanding certain terms in English as their first language is Spanish. Since we had two people in our group who can speak Spanish, it became quite easier to communicate with the students and made the experience more enjoyable and memorable.
-I learn a lot in this class and experience as translanguaging is an important aspect to have in a classroom along with making the classroom experience more enjoyable and personal. In allowing students to express themselves from their background and culture we can create a more inclusive and accepting classroom/environment.
-This class has taught me many new skills and lessons I can include in class environment to better an students learning and it was a pleasure to be in this class and learn so much from it.

-Hi guys, my name is Julie. I'm a freshman nursing major and initially the main reason I took this class was because it was fulfillment for a bunch of university requirements but throughout the duration of this class.I learned a lot of things that I never would have. Thought about, on my own and the importance of language and understanding that everyone has different experiences when it comes to learning languages and just speaking on their own, the importance of letting students feel accepted and not. At a disadvantage just because they're not as good as speaking English and just creating a good environment for everyone even outside of the classroom. Working with the kids from Seville. I experienced a bit of difficulty because we couldn't really meet because of scheduling issues and just other problems with communications, but I really did enjoy finding out about other people's experiences in different countries and how they apply language in their own ways.
