  Case: What did you say?
For your first few years as an ESOL instructor, you were provided with a bilingual assistant. You took her for granted, and now that she has moved on, you realize that you need help! The children that she used to communicate with and instruct in their native language are now asking you for help, and need assistance in their native language. What can you do to help this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If ESOL students are asking for help, they need it. always be flexible with them and make sure they understand instructions for projects. I would pair them with bodies, so they can practice their English during class. have available a dictionary for English and the other languages because ESOL students gradually are building vocabulary but sometimes they are stuck with one word that they dont know, so having a computer program or a dictionary for translation will helpful.
