Case: What did you say?
For your first few years as an ESOL instructor, you were provided with a bilingual assistant. You took her for granted, and now that she has moved on, you realize that you need help! The children that she used to communicate with and instruct in their native language are now asking you for help, and need assistance in their native language. What can you do to help this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Translators and interpreters are not always available for ESOL teachers, so I would try to be prepared for this situation. I would make sure that I am expressive and use very clear gestures when speaking to students that need my assistance. I would give the student access to a dictionary that includes both English, and the student's native language. They would be allowed to consult this dictionary at any time. If possible, I would learn basic phrases in the student's language. This is not very difficult to do, and the student would surely appreciate it. |

| Comments: I totally agree with your solution, I think that your right in the matter of being prepared for having an ESOL student in your teaching career. I think another helpful thing to do for the students would be to have a certain book you can find in their native language along with English version so that they are allowed to understand the book and they are then able to communicate better with other students along with able to understand what other students are saying from the book. |
