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!)
For an ELL, while it is a good idea for the students to be paired together, I think that its best for the teacher to make sure the student has a sense of understanding what's expected by using pictures in instruction, using simplified language so the directions are easier for the student to understand. Depending solely on another student is a lot of added pressure, and I'm sure that's why he became frustrated and bossy. |

Comments: I like this solution. It's possible Jake just doesn't understand the instructions or he doesn't have a picture in his head of how the assignment is supposed to go.

| Comments: I agree. While peer work is helpful, it can also be unhelpful because a peer is not a trained professional. |
