    About this ebook

    COVID-19 has crashed in the educational realm, forcing us educators, teachers, parents, and students to face a different path of life. Our lives were challenged and also obliged to change. Our social-psycho-emotional state as human beings began to change, and we tried to adapt in an aggressive way fit in the new normal way of education. This book brings you, the reader, to reflect and put together the mosaic of the COVID-19 world in the education path of the new normal. I call this the new virtual-dimension education realm.

      Foreword

      by Jose Henrique Moreno, PhD

      Language and culture seem to be crucial factors for individuals. They are important for teachers and educators to value their impact on immigrant students in terms of having a language barrier in the classroom setting, especially now with this new virtual learning process. Obviously, language and culture are intertwined. The inculcation of culture and the English language becomes increasingly challenging in the context of cultural diversity and in moments of adjustment of habitus and social and pedagogical practices. Therefore, associated with the multicultural character and the diversity of the ethnic-cultural origins of the students, the pandemic brought new tasks for the main actors of education. The fact is that the immigrant student has more linguistical and social barriers to overcome in their difficulties, and the teachers and the school have a new opportunity to better serve the community by changing or adapting their practices.

      In this book, Neusa Correia Lopes brings several elements for reflection—the role of culture, namely multiculturalism; the change for the education system; and a new paradigm to build the classroom—all of which are fundamental for a better understanding of the teaching-learning phenomenon in the context of the changing process of the educational system brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.

      Consequently, this book is impregnated with long years of her experience as an ESL and ESOL teacher in several contexts and cultures, where she had understood the difficulties of students and teachers. She has analyzed the classroom to comprehend the psychological and emotional impact of the adjustment of culture and the culture of the classroom format. COVID-19 has undoubtedly made an impact on the education world. The multilingual immigrant student population is now challenged by COVID-19 since it demands a lot of social distancing restrictions and health protocols such as mask wearing. Students and teachers must maintain distance and adapt to the new normal way of living. The author stresses in this book some concerns and ways to cope with this new learning process, in which learning and teaching turns out to be difficult.

      Neusa Correia Lopes has successfully connected education,

      multiculturalism, and the pandemic to show how it is

      possible to make the education system more humane and

      powerful, making it more open to unpredictability.

      Preface

      The focus on the English language barrier in the classroom setting and how teachers help students overcome this issue in the new normal of COVID-19 had a big impact in the education realm. This book stresses mainly the challenges of the language barrier in the multicultural and multilingual population of students.

      A main emphasis of this book is the language barrier in the classroom setting, along with the history of COVID-19 and its impact on education in the world and the USA, including the new classroom setting, the virtual classroom, and the negative and positive aspects of it. I urge teachers/educators to comprehend the background of immigrant students and parents for them to be more effective in teaching these new learners.

      I propose strategies on how to explore the language barrier in the classroom setting and the consequences of multiculturalism and the diversity of language spoken in the virtual classroom.

      I will focus on the strategies to enhance successful outcomes for students with an English language barrier in the parameters of the pandemic that the
