  Case: High School ESOL Student
Miss Kay has a high school ESOL student that is not fluent English. The student cannot read, write, or speak any English. What would be good differentiation strategies that regular education treaters could implement into the classroom? This student needs many supports throughout the day.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You may want to allow the student to have a dictionary with him/her, and/or a translation app or computer program, when doing work in class. This may help him/her understand the directions and the material being taught even more. Also, many textbooks come with a Spanish Glossary (if Spanish is what the student speaks) and some workbooks come with Spanish translations of the pages. This may help the student at first while he/she is learning English. You could also talk to a foreign language teacher at your school, if you have one that speaks the student's native language, and he/she may be able to help you see how much the student understands and what he/she may need help with.

Comments: I think this relies far too heavily on translation, when the emphasis needs to be on understanding, which simply cannot be achieved by constant translation in the same way.

Comments: I don't feel that this suggestion is particularly useful. Translating word for word is slow, tedious, and unreliable. I think scaffolding and using picture aides and then bilingual support for key phrases and concepts would be more helpful than a dictionary or translator app.

Comments: I think this is a bad solution because the student can get in the habit of translating every single word that they don't know and this might slow down their learning. The students need to think in English, talk in English, and do everything gin English in order to learn the language.
