Case: SPEAK ENGLISH! I am a Kindergarden teacher that has a big group of hispanic students in the classroom. Many of them do not know how to speak English and thus makes it very complicated and frustrating to communicate. What is even worse, is that these students tend to speak Spanish when they are amongst themselves. Clearly, as a teacher I want them to be able to Participate, however, I am not sure whether or not I should separate them and forcé them to leave their native tongue at home. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) For the purposes of the class I would have the students speak English anytime there is classroom discussions and lessons (to whatever extent Kindergarten has lessons.) I would however let them continue to speak spanish during free time. This way they can learn English and interact with the other English speaking students but keep them from feeling you dislike their culture. They are at a young age they won't be able to reason that you are trying to help them. Hopefully, over time they would decide to speak more English to each other as they become comfortable with it. |
