  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!)
Is the student's english proficiency level low? Are they new to the US? If so, I'm sure the student is shy about talking to students because they may feel they won't be able to communicate well. I would suggest sitting him next to some higher level students and pairing them with higher level, friendly students in class and during group work. This will hopefully get them a little more comfortable and willing to open up and they learn conversational speak faster this way. Also include this student's native country and culture into the material as often as possibly. This will also get the child to feel more comfortable and may even encourage them to share their insights with the class.
