  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!)
You can help this student make friends by doing an interest inventory in the class. Ice breakers or similar activities would help. For example, students could cross to the other side of a circle if they agree with what is being said, such as, "I like ice cream." This way, students can see that despite their differences, they have similarities.
Additionally, work on creating a community and loving environment in the classroom that facilitates opportunities for students to make friends.
