Case: Making ESOL students more comfortable
I am volunteering at a school with ESOL students. What are some ways I can make them more comfortable around me? The students do not speak a lot of English but I still want to help out in the classroom.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would learn some introductory phrases and words in the students' native language(s). It will show that you are trying to make a connection with them and they should feel more comfortable. Try to use visuals or writing (dependent on reading ability) while giving instructions. Show interest and talk to them. Don't be nervous about the language barrier. They might be nervous too. Effort and a positive attitude will go a long way. |

Comments: I agree with this solution. The students are most likely even more nervous than the teacher about the language barrier and a little bit can go a long way in showing the student that you care. |

Comments: I agree. I have a spanish dictionary app and it has many languages that you can translate on it. It also allows a microphone so that the student could speak into it and it will translate what they are saying into English. This is a good way to communicate and help break the language barrier. |

Comments: Overall I find this solution to be the most effective because it is important to exhibit confidence as a teacher. By taking the first steps to connect further with ones students, they will most likely reciprocate this behavior. |
