What would you do to get the student to open up and start talking? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would be careful, as the student may have anxiety or some similar condition that makes social situations difficult. Taking shy students and making them social has to be done delicately. I would suggest having group activities in the class, but having the groups be very small. Similarly, assign students before hand so that its not just a thing where all the students join up with their friends. If you break it up so that the student only has to deal with one or two new students at a time, they may feel more comfortable opening up, especially if its over something like completing a task or assignment instead of simply trying to make conversation.
