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 do not think your goal should be to prohibit them from speaking Spanish, but simply speaking more English. It may not be a good idea to separate the students completely from peers that make them feel comfortable and who they can identify with culturally. I would devote my energies to promoting English than eradicating Spanish. The important question should be what ways can you get the students to want to speak English more? I would recommend creating activities that forces them to interact with the other students in the class who may not have a Spanish background. This can happen with collaborative assignments, games, or even new assign seating. |
