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!) I can understand your frustration when communicating with this group of students; however, the students should be praised that they are continuing to speak their native language in a different environment. I do think that they should be encouraged to speak English in the classroom during their ESOL instruction. I would encourage them to use Spanish during other subjects, such as Social Studies. They can speak with their Hispanic peers during lunch and recess in their first language. As an educator, I would want to develop bilingual individuals that could succeed further in a global economy. |
