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!) This is a very hard situation to deal with. I do not think that it is bad for the students to speak their common langauge among themselves. I think this makes them feel more comfortable in the classroom. I think one thing that would help this situation is to pair the students who speak little english with the students who do speak english. This should not be done all of the time but during interactive lessons. This will allow them to learn more english and feel more comforatble with the other students and not have the two groups seperate because they are not similar. -Kayla
