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 understand that this could be very frustrating, but I think it would be detrimental to the students if you told them to leave their "native tongue at home." I think you could start by dividing them up when you do group work or at their seats, and maybe have only two of the students sit together at a time, with a couple of non-Spanish speakers. This may make the kids feel more comfortable having someone who speaks their native language but at the same time, make them aware that there are students who do speak their language who they are expected to work with.                 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: I think this is a great solution as it allows all students to feel comfortable and supported.
