  Case: Case study of ESOL student
Harvey is a foreign exchange student from the Island of Haiti. At the beginning of the school year Harvey was not keeping up. The teacher thought it was because Harvey was just getting used to being in a new environment but now weeks later Harvey grades are falling. How does the teacher get Harvey to get accustomed to his new environment? And if these problems persist how can he change it?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
There are so many components that go into ESOL education. First, there is a major language barrier, so it is important that the teacher work with an ESOL aid (if possible) to determine the students English proficiency level. Using this as a basis, the teacher can differentiate instruction to meet the student’s needs. For instance, if the student is an emerging English speaking, the teacher will want to include many visual aids and physical gestures (including TPR) while teaching. The most important thing is to be able to differentiate and scaffold instruction based on the student’s specific needs as an ESOL student and their current ESOL level.

Small group instruction, one-on-one work, buddy work, and ESOL teacher aids are also activities to try.

Comments: I completely agree with this process. I currently work with ESOL students and we test their knowledge before putting them into a class that they will fail in. Being able to know how much knowledge they have of the English language can make a big difference. We also let our students listen to the language that way they can hear and see it at the same time.

Comments: I agree that there is not one component. While him being not use to the environment may be a contributing factor, all students are much more complex than that.
