Case: SPEAK ENGLISH!
I am a Kindergarden teacher that has a big group of hispanic students in the classroom. Many of them do not know how to speak English and thus makes it very complicated and frustrating to communicate. What is even worse, is that these students tend to speak Spanish when they are amongst themselves. Clearly, as a teacher I want them to be able to Participate, however, I am not sure whether or not I should separate them and forcé them to leave their native tongue at home.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I don't think you should force these students to split up. I think it would be helpful for you to integrate group work into your lessons. I would always make sure that there was more than one of these children in the group, especially at first. It would be very helpful to utilize your native Spanish speakers who also speak English. I would encourage these students to help all of the students in the class to overcome the language barrier. You could spread the bilingual students throughout the room. If there are enough bilingual students in the class, I would make sure at least one of these students was at each group to help the children communicate. I would never discourage the students from speaking their native language. I would focus on encouraging encouraging them to work on their English, especially during group times. Also, it would be helpful for you to learn a little Spanish. You could teach your native English speakers some Spanish with the help of your native Spanish speakers. If the students see that everyone is participating in using a new language, they may be more motivated to learn. |

| Comments: It is a great idea to have the students split up into groups and help each other. You definitely don't want to split them up completely because it is beneficial for the students. Also, I learned that it is a disadvantage when teachers ban students' home languages from the classroom. |

| Comments: I agree that this solution would work best in this situation. The children need to feel like their language is relevant in the classroom and to not be ashamed of it by only being allowed to speak english. |
