Case: Spanish Speaking Teacher teaching English
Mr. Martinez, Colombian native, was hired to teach English in a school. He is majored and has a master degree in English but his accent is present when speaking. Parents have complained about his accent claiming he shouldn't be teaching English because the language is not his native. Mr. Martinez has had success teaching English in his previous school and students loved his class. Because of parents' comments his new students seemed to be biased about his class. Despite his efforts to make the class engaging, Mr. Martinez doesn't seem to make progress. What should Mr. Martinez or the school's administration to mitigate the comments and change parents and students' behavior?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Mr. Martinez should explain that he is fully capable of teaching english despite having an accent. He is the epitome of "If I can learn it, so can you!". It is no different then someone who only speaks English, teaching English to Spanish speaking people. The school's administration should recognize Mr. Martinez's credibility and applaud him for overcoming the obstacles of the rude comments he has endured. He should also work to make the class respect him and his journey in teaching English. |

| Comments: I agree with everything but making the class respect him. Just because at the end of the day people are going to have to want to respect you or not you cannot make them. |
