Case: Frustrated ELL
I just recently started working with a pre-production ELL student (we'll call him Jake). He was teamed up with another student (we'll call him Matt) to work on building a bridge for a STEM project. My CT thought the two boys would make a good pair because usually, they hang out at recess and lunch. My CT thought that they would be able to communicate well enough to complete the project (lots of visuals were provided and it is a very hands-on project). Trouble is, Matt got very bossy towards Jake. I explained to Matt that Jake had ideas and wanted to participate, too, and that they were to work together. A few minutes later, Jake was in tears. He was continuing to do all that Matt told him to, but through a tear streaked face. What would you do in this situation? How would you fix this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If the boy was in tears I would stop the group from proceeding and break the pair up. I would reevaluate the situation and may even work with Jake myself to help him get through the exercise in hopes of learning something from it. When he is stressed and worked up, his affective filter is too high and no learning occurs. Jake needs to be calmed down and never in a group with Matt again. |

Comments: Not sure why this solution got downvoted. I think it's a really good idea to work with Jake as the teacher. That's when you can cheer him up and encourage him. |

Comments: Although I agree that the pair shouldn’t work together in the future I think splitting them apart may cause another issue. |

Comments: I agreed until the last sentence. Matt and Jake should be allowed opportunities to learn to work together again. Jake doesn't need to be alienated. |

Comments: I think that calming Jake down is a correct response but I think splitting up the pair from the project does not help them work on team management skills. You cannot just always leave a group when something goes on in the real world so I think that helping them learn to work with each other is a more correct response. |
