Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         Case: Student gets help from native speakers During an internship in an ESOL class, I noticed that one of the student's essay seemed abnormal. The language used didn't relate to the student's previous work. Later I found out the student associated with native English speakers that assisted (or did) her assignments. How should I deal with this? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would acknowledge the work but also explain to them that it is ok to write their own work that is the only way they are going to learn. Everyone has their own writing style.                 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: Yes I would remind them that they are not going to learn by letting someone else complete or mostly do their work.
