Case: Language Barrier
I'm very nervous about the next upcoming year. I try to help my students as best I can, but I'm concerned about getting an ESOL student with an uncommon language. Here in Florida, there are usually many Spanish speaking ESOL students, and usually staff who also speak Spanish, but I'm worried about any potential students who speak, say, Russian, or Finnish, or a language that is not common to this area. What are some suggestions you have?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Visuals are a great strategy to use for ESOL students. You can also place labels all over the classroom on more common items. I would also find picture books in other languages and translation dictionaries. Technology is another great resource - Google translate. I would also have simple flashcards with pictures and letters the student can practice with, as well as using videos that have the options for subtitles. You will be great! |

| Comments: Putting labels up all over the classroom is a great idea. Where I work currently we use google translate for the more foreign languages for example Czech and Albanian. Having flash cards is also a great idea, having them makes the whole lesson more interactive as a class because they can practice in groups and quiz each other. |
