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!) Even though it may sound mean, I would separate some of the students. They are going to continue speaking their native tongue if you do not. You can leave some of them together so that they can still communicate with each other, but if they all stay together they are just going to continue speaking Spanish with each other and not necessarily participate with the other classmates in the room. It would be just like if you had a group of talkative students, you would separate them. You aren't forcing them to leave their native tongue at home, just modifying how much they use in the classroom.
