Case: Motivation Issue, Attention Deficit, or Something Else?
Last year I had a 7th grade ELL student who struggled to pass my language arts class. He would sometimes fall asleep in class, gaze off into space, struggle with task initiation and meeting deadlines, and simply keeping pace with other students. He was not disrespectful at all, but he appeared to want to be anywhere else but class. Since he had been living in the US for 3 years and conversationally seemed to understand my conversations, I assumed something other than language was at play. First, was I correct in this assumption? Second, what do you think was going on with this student? Finally, what could I have done to improve his overall achievement in my class?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think that some students at this age are somehow interested in things that are not related to school. I think that this student was still adapting to the education system here in the USA? Like you, I will oner about other things that may be going on since the student seem to understand what was being said.
Regarding assignments, I will suggest pairing up the student, sometimes ELL students need peers to go over the directions of the assignment so it make sense to the student. Another options is giving examples of the assignment done by anonymous students in previous years. This will serve as a reference for the student. |

| Comments: I do not believe the student falling asleep has anything to do with adapting them. And if they are bored, sometimes pairing them up could lead to more problems if the students begin to talk too much. |
