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!) This can be a difficult and frustrating situation. I really would not know how to go about dealing with this. Our entire curriculum and educational system is based on the English language. Students must know how to speak English and how to write it in order to succeed in most schools. As a teacher you definitely do not want to force your students to abandon their native language and culture. We want them to be able to succeed in school and hold on to their heritage. I don't understand how, as English speaking teachers, we are supposed to be able to teach students that do not speak English at all. I would not force them to leave their native language at home, but I would encourage them to try to limit its use in the classroom in order to help them get a better grasp of English. |
