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 wouldn't seperate them as this may cause them to shut downn. I would give the students words in Spanish and English and ask them to ask each other the different words or whatever the content is being taught using flash cards or some form to make it interesting and obtainable for them. If you don't want them together all the time you could put them in groups where there are a variety of cultures sometimes. However, I think it may be beneficial for you to utilize that they do have each other in activities and lessons.                 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: This is very true. You can tell when teachers make Spanish speakers stop speaking in their native language because they walk around school and do not say a word. Its sad.
