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!) Wow, this must be tough. Personally, I think it is time for you to brush up on your Spanish speaking skills. Maybe you could turn it into a game. Perhaps you could speak a little Spanish to your students and they could speak English back to you. I know this seems like an extreme solution however, I think the students will respect you more if they see you are interested in their language as well. However, English is the language commonly used in schools today so it is crucial to help the students learn how to speak it fluently. I think that they should not be forced to leave their native tongue however, allow them to use both in the classroom. This will make them successful in life.                 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! Learning Spanish will make the students feel more comfortable. Luckily, I speak Spanish too so it was easy for me to help my Spanish speakers, also I spoke to them in English slowly and broke down the words for them to understand.
