Abstract	A professional development experience is described in which teachers from schools with Latino student populations participated in two mathematics lessons taught in Chinese. The goal was to allow the teachers to experience linguistic challenges similar to those that many ELL students face. In addition, the article also discusses teachers' reflections and insights about teaching ELL students and aspects about learning mathematics in a second language. (Contains 1 figure.) (Author).
