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!) That is a very tough situation to be in. I understand that they need to participate with their classmates, but they also need to be able to communicate in English. I would say that an advantage that you have is having them in kindergarten. Since they are so young, they are able to learn languages fairly quickly. I would let the native speakers work together during some assignments, and then I would separate them for others. You do not want to discourage them from working together, but you also don't want them to be uncomfortable around English speakers. By allowing them to work with different groups, you are giving them an opportunity to work with a variety of students. |
