  Case: New Student
You are in the middle of teaching and VP walks in with a new student. The student is a new ESOL student from South Korea. Student does not understand and English and is just left with no information or guidance. What is my next step?

Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
ESOL students are usually mainstreamed into classrooms so they can be emerged in the English language but this doesn't seem fair to the student or the teacher. You may just need to utilize Google Translate until you can get with the special education department in your school and see if you can find a translator.

Comments: Google translate would probably be useful. It is difficult to have a student that you can not communicate with. It is best just to make them feel comfortable and try your best to find ways to communicate.
