Case: New ESOL student
I have a new student in my class. His family speaks Spanish and almost no English. He desperately wants to learn English, but refuses to speak Spanish. His family moves around a lot, and last year he was in Cuba. This is his first year in a public school that he is actually attending every day. He is in the process of being entered into the ESOL program. In the time being, he is reading at a D reading level (based on Running Record testing that ranges from A-Z. His classmates are at J and above.) During full class instruction, he refuses to complete the assignments. During small group, he will complete at least 80% of the work. What methods do I use to engage him in the classwork? All of his books are at his reading level, but it is a Kindergarten reading level.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would incorporate strategies like TPR, read alouds, matching games (English word and corresponding picture), sentence strips, and Reader's Theater to build his confidence in completing assignments and assist him in learning the English language. Definitely modify the assignments and lessons to fit the needs of this student. Have him continue to work in small groups, but also pull him aside to work with him individually. In small groups, assign a buddy that can help him complete his work. Make assignments more fun for him, and include lots of pictures. |

Comments: Great ideas. Lesson plans will definitely need to be modified now that you have an ESOL student in your class. You must accommodate this student in order for him to make progress and be engaged in the class content. |

Comments: incorporating these methods are important when in an ESOL classroom. Also encourage the child to embrace the fact that he is Hispanic and can speak another language. Teach them that it is a superpower, although you don't want them to use it at school it is important to embrace culture. |

Comments: I'm a big fan with "total physical response" when it comes to beginner ESOL students. As it was mention above small groups seems something this student enjoyed doing. I do agree that making assignments more fun for the student is the best approach to go. |
