  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!)
Since English language is the language used in the classroom. I will suggest you separate them, you can put some who does not speak at all with the ones that do speak so that the former can help the latter with interpretation and school work. I say this so that they will not be distractive. Separating them does not mean you have to neglect them, it simply means that for the one who do not have other students to interpret for them, you have to use other means of communication apart from verbal to communicate. They might still be able to do some subjects that can be done without the language.

Comments: I don't think any kind of separation will help. Also giving the responsibility of teaching the language to other students is a heavy task.
