  Case: Lonely Student
One of the ESOL students in my class has no friends and does not talk to anyone socially, other than when directed for school work. How can I help this student make friends?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
ESOL students can be very scared and intimidated when they come to a new place with a new language. Be welcoming and inviting when they come in. If there is not another student in the class that has the same native language, try and talk to the counselor of the school to see if there is a mentor program where the student can have some one they feel comfortable around. if this does not work, talk to the parents and see if they can help. This is a hard adjustment, but make sure the student is supported and given attention.

Comments: I think getting the parents involved too early may cause embarrassment for the child if people constantly ask why they are not communicating or have friends.
