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!) Although it may be frustrating at times, I would not separate these students from the rest of the class. It is frustrating for these students as well so take your time and have patience when working with them. Group the students who do not speak English with students who can. This way they can both learn from one another. If the student who is learning English has trouble with a word, allow them to collaborate with their group for help. Another helpful tip would be to label as much as you can in the classroom with both their native language and English. If the English language learners are unaware of the word, take some time to work with them, then teach the rest of the class what that item means in their native language. This will give them a sense of pride and motivation to learn English. |
