  Case: What is your interpretation?
I have a student who has recently learned English, and still struggles to say some of the basic words we say. He has now started getting embarrassed and will not speak up in class because he is embarrassed about the way he talks. How can I help him feel comfortable talking in class?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The first thing to do is to establish the rules of respect of all students no matter what. Tell students it is difficult sometimes for me as the teacher to get up in front of a class and speak perfectly as it is for anyone. No tolerance from any student who puts down another student.

Comments: Creating and enforcing sound classroom rules focused on respecting other students is very important. I would also talk with the student individually to tell them how amazing it is that they speak multiple languages, and that their accent or mispronunciation is nothing to be ashamed of.
