Case: Mixing Words
Mao is a first grade student from Laos. He arrived here a year ago with his sister and two cousins. He is in the same class as one of his cousins. When they arrived, he and his cousin were at a low level of English Language Acquisition, and a low reading level. His cousin has advanced quickly, and is now on grade level, and speaks fluently. However, Mao is not. He has trouble reading, but his difficult is puzzling. He will often look at a word and swap it for a synonym. For example, when reading the book "Tall, Small, Tall", Mao looked at the title and read it, "Tall, Little, Tall." It is obvious that he knows the meaning of the word, but he consistently reads them differently than what the word says. The ESOL teacher and the classroom teacher have discussed his situation, and they both feel that he needs to be tested for placement into ESE services. However, administration does not want to do this because he is receiving language services. What should they do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Well I agree with the testing, but not necessarily for ESE placement right off the bat. They do to see what his ability level is. One way to do that is test him in his native language. He may not be ESE at all, he may just be having language troubles in English. If that is the case, he may just need additional instruction in English. |

| Comments: I think it is a good idea to test students in their home language first, this can be helpful in determining what students do know. |

| Comments: WHile this solution does make a sound aarguemnt for finding out his level and why he does this, it does a have its problems like trying to translate a test or find a relevent test in that lagnuage to give. The best option is getting his familty to help translate but i would not considerthis option easy to do but are resonable. |

| Comments: I agree with this solution since the suggestion is not to jump immediately to ESE placement. Testing the student's intellect level in their native language is a great way to gauge if he has a learning disability. |
