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 mostly have this problem teaching Middle and High school, but for elementary children in Kindergarten I would not fully split them all apart. You can break up the bigger group, but leave some of them together so they can help each other in class. You need to teach English and Spanish in the class, so the students can understand each other and help you to understand and speak to all of your students. This can be a struggle at first, but if you keep at it and not let failure or discouragement affect you will be able to provide an environment for all students to be able to learn and communicate with each other and you.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I think that teachers should also learn Spanish. But also allow time for students to work with English speakers. Rated On: October 20, 2019 11:37 pm Rated By: ygyXeT
