ESOL SUPPORT IDEA

 

 

Many students will struggle with homework.  You may already see evidence of this.  One of the things that ESOL students find difficult is the structure of the English sentence and not all of them are in an English class now.

 

Hints for Homework

 

1.     Demonstrate how you want the questions answered.  Use visuals to reinforce the idea.

2.     Allow a classmate to explain the structure to the ESOL student in his first language.

3.     Most ESOL students are eager to please their teachers; however, they will struggle to complete their assignments nightly.  An extra day could be an option, depending on the student.

4.     Currently, two Spanish-speaking aides are available to assist with classroom instruction or homework.
