I did not speak any Chinese at that time, and, as such, I felt confused and somewhat apprehensive. I stopped my explanation and gently asked that student what was wrong. However, I was not getting anywhere, and I ended up calling my school principal.<\/p>\n<p>After this episode, I realized that I no longer knew what my students&#8217; backgrounds meant for my classes. I started to realize that having the proper vocabulary comprehension tools can and does affect my students, in deeper ways than I had ever anticipated. My principal told me that that particular student&#8217;s vocabulary was so low that they vented\u00a0 their frustrations and anxiety in the only way they knew how, through crying.<\/p>\n<p>It was the most humbling experience for me. From that moment on, I started taking into account every single student&#8217;s vocabulary level whenever I made my lesson planning.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":26318,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1206941,1206938,1206936],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1073","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-my-own","category-no-longer-know","category-what-i-no-longer-know"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/edst403\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1073","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/edst403\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/edst403\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/edst403\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/26318"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/edst403\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1073"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/edst403\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1073\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1301,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/edst403\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1073\/revisions\/1301"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/edst403\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1073"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/edst403\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1073"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/edst403\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1073"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
