I have noticed that they also speak in Spanish at school w hen they are interacting with one another. Does this isolate my English speakers? Each of these students in capable of speaking English and do so during instruction. Is it ok to allow them to continue to speak in Spanish? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I think it is okay for the students to interact with each other and speak their native language. It is important to let other languages be apart of the classroom to show the student's different diversity and a comfortable environment. I believe that during some points in the classroom to maybe just have English being spoken and practiced by the students.                 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: This is a really great balance of allowing students to be comfortable and challenging them to learn a new language.
