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 personally think it is very important to allow the students to speak their native language in the classroom. It helps them to feel comfortable with you. Maybe you can learn basic Spanish to relay to the students that you feel it is very important for them to try to learn the language of English so that they can grow and understand what you are saying. If you separate the students and force them to stop speaking their native language their is a large chance they will completely shut down and make it even harder on you.                 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: YES!
