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!)
Because these students are in kindergarten, some classroom management skills need to be in play in this situation. Perhaps some classroom rules need to be set on when the children should be able to speak their own Native language. The reasoning behind this is if they do not practice speaking English, then they will not get any better at it. The teacher and students can compile a list of classroom rules together, then the teacher can send them home with the students. Also, the teacher can incorporate other activities during lessons where English words vs. Spanish words can be scaffolded. Tools such as Thinking Maps could work marvelously with the technique. If a teacher were to do this, then they could work in differentiation for both languages within the classroom. |

Comments: Separation would not be good; they're only 5 years old.
I think that teachers should also learn Spanish.
But also allow time for students to work with English speakers. |
