Use Primary Language or Code Switch
By allowing students to switch between their primary language and English, students may be able to remember more of what they learned. It also helps them become linguistically savvy. Students will be more apt to try writing or speaking in the new language because they know when they get stuck or confused they can switch back to their native language. It is said to "facilitate self esteem to be maintained, stress to be reduced, and education to be a positive experience. I think this should apply to Appalachian dialects as well. These students can use their language while trying to incorporate prope English into their vocabulary. I feel this would be beneficial to those students as well.

Reading Aloud: Student-centered vs. Teacher-centered
In teacher-centered, the lesson is focused on what the teacher asks and wants the students to know. This teacher expects students to listen without speaking, raise their hands and that will determine if they know the answer. The student-centered allows the students to facilitate what questions are being asked and what direction the conversation goes in. This checks for understanding by allowing students to develop their understanding.
