Case: Best Friends
In the class I am mentoring, I have three students who I have to work with everyday after school. Two out of three of my mentees are best friends and are constantly talking in their native language. I have tried seating them farther from one another when we all work together, or having me or the third student sit between them. The teacher of the class knows they talk a lot, but only tells me to address it myself.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think that actually giving them 5 minutes to talk after your lesson is complete can help but only in the sense that you get your lesson done. Let them know that as long as work gets done, you will allow them to talk. If it doesn't get done, then they don't get their socializing time. That way they will be plugged in more if they know they have a chance to talk at the end if they stay focused. Also, maybe start the day out with asking them how their weekend was, what they had/having for lunch, what their favorite part of the day is so far, and what they are looking forward to if the weekend is nearby. Opening up conversation for a little before the lesson starts might help too. |

Comments: This is a good approach to try, as it acknowledges the students might want to share with one another and can help with including everyone. |

Comments: I like the idea of having them have a designated time they can use to talk about what they want in their native language. This gives you their attention when it is necessary, and they can have their own time later. |

Comments: I like this solution. You don't want to take away their friendship or not allow them to talk at all, but you do want them to get work done and understand the material. As long as their work is getting done they can talk with each quietly for a certain amount of time, but not while the teacher is talking. |
