  Case: Motivation
I have an ESOL student in my inclusion class. He is very low academically and struggles to retain information. He is receiving assistance through our school ESOL and Migrant programs, but it is not helping. His grades are suffering badly. We took a vocabulary quiz the other day and he missed every single question. What are some things I can do to motivate him to study more? I know the language barrier for him is tough, but he is not putting forth much effort.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
To begin, its important to build a positive relationship with the student. This is a difficult time for the student as the transition from their native language and culture to American culture is drastic. If the student has low motivation, perhaps incorporate artifacts from their native language or culture such as picture books, posters, signs, etc. Include a multicultural corner in your classroom with books and information about other cultures. This may help the student feel more at home and increase their feeling of belonging, because they will feel that you and their peers care about them.
