Case: Non speaking ESOL Student
I teach a kindergarten ESOL student in an Early Intervention Program math classroom. He comprehends English but appears to be a selective mute. He has only spoken a few words to me since the beginning of the year, yet he can follow all verbal directions given in English. What is the best way to increase his speech in the classroom?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This is a very common concern among teachers. You are trying your best but the student is not talking to you. I agree with the first post. The silent period is part of the learning process. ESOL students need to have a comfort zone. I will recommend praising his progress and possible rewards. By doing that you will be creating a "different" kind of comfort zone where he/she feels accepted. Pairing him with a buddy is a great idea too. |

| Comments: I would not recommend give rewards to the student. Praise is fine, but if they are new to the school system and country you don't want them learning they will be rewarded for everything they do. At that young of age they will learn that concept fast and will always look to be rewarded. |
