The vast majority of my students are ELL/ESOL students. Almost all of the student's parents are Spanish speakers that speak very little to no English. When we have to hold conferences throughout the year, we are often short staffed on translators. We are also encouraged NOT to use the students as translators. I wish I could communicate more often with my students' parents. Any suggestions? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) my recommendation is to use letters or emails. You can use a translation app to help you express yourself and then understand them also.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: Google translate isn't always correct and face to face meetings are important.

It sends the reader in the right direction, but vaguely. Rated On: November 25, 2022 12:13 pm Rated By: yDapem
