i love the idea of bringing in a guest speaker. I think the students appreciate hearing a different voice and perspective. Being a new instructor, I've never had to contact someone in the community to serve as a guest speaker. Are there any suggestions on how to approach an "expert" when asking them to be a guest in the classroom?

Teaching a medical profession means using a lot of vocabulary with latin prefix and suffix. I try to point these prefixes and suffixes out with each term so that the students can become familiar with them and start to apply them to other terms-hopefully then they will be able figure out a disease based on the prefix/suffix. While I have found this helpfull with the majority of the students, I'm not sure how helpful it is to an ELL student
