What if my students do not speak English at all?
- Typically, when you have students who do not have English language ability at all, you will be assisted by a native speaker with some English ability.
- If an assistant is not available, you will have to use other means of communicating your ideas to the students using gestures, photographs, drawings, and pantomime.
- A skilled ESL teacher may be able to utilize a more advanced student to communicate ideas in their native tongue which will instill confidence and a sense of responsibility in the “assistant” and create a more collaborative classroom.
