I feel like it would be pretty scary coming into a different country and then now you are learning their language so as the teacher, What can you do to make sure that the students you are teaching feel comfortable and feel okay? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) The best thing you can do is treat them as a normal child, and foster a place of safety and happiness. I have observed that children can often match the energy that adults have, in a mimicking type of way. Smiling and having fun with work is a great approach to help them break out of their shell.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: This is a great solution because they are normal kids who just happen to speak another language, so being kind and happy can make them feel more comfortable to learn. I do think implementing some other collaboration techniques between them and other students can also help them break out of their shell. Rated On: November 6, 2023 6:56 pm Rated By: yPyZuz
