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!)
I would not completely separate them so that they feel isolated. They need each other. However, I would not completely isolate them from their English-speaking classmates. I would allow them to remain in small groups dispersed throughout the rest of the students. All students learn better when stress is reduced so if they feel comfortable and less stressed with other Spanish-speaking students that is fine. They will begin speaking bits of English soon, when they are ready. |

Comments: This solutions reduces stress for both the teacher and the students; making the classroom better as a whole. It encourages the students to speak English but still allows the Spanish speaking students to communicate among themselves in their native tongue. |
