  Case: Communicating with parents who have limited english proficiency
Hello there,


I will be starting my internships in a few months, and I am curious as to how I should communicate with my students' parents who have limited english proficiency. Also, how often should I communicate with them?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Communicate patiently with them. They know that their English is not excellent, so any facilitation in helping them overcome their difficulties will most likely be appreciated in some way. Remember to treat them kindly, and not raise your voice. Applications like google translate can help get the point/purpose across, however take caution in writing in languages that you your self cannot read; writing can be misinterpreted/lost in translation.
