A classroom is a place where you are supposed to learn from a teacher. While there are those classrooms that are meant for native students, there are times when a classroom is filled with students coming from all over the world. Such situations are quite common when the school is renowned all around.
As the teacher, you are the one who will be in charge of making sure that everyone is not left behind. Everyone should be able to learn from the class as well as get along with the other students. You will have to promote bilingual strategic communications to ensure that everyone understands each other's words.
This is definitely an amazing strategy to promote when you have a classroom open to students all over. When the students are speaking different languages, then this will allow you to not let anyone feel alone. This will eliminate the problem of having one or two students in the class feel isolated because they speak a different language.
If the language becomes the problem, this might then cause isolation. The lone student who is yet to understand the common language being spoken in the classroom will really be left behind. This might even trigger the feeling of not attending class or homesickness for the said lone student. That would pose a problem in and of itself.
It should not be difficult for you to conceptualize a strategy that is suitable for the problem posed before you. If it is just communication, then you should be able to take advantage of a few strategies that are commonly used in classrooms with diverse students. You can help out your students when you use the appropriate strategies.
Out of the various strategies that you are allowed to use, you should consider having yourself and your students speak in English. This is really helpful because this is the language that most people are familiar with, second to their native tongue. Students should be able to communicate with your or their classmates when they speak in English.
There are surely no problems with speaking the said language. Most of the students, especially those in the higher levels, should be able to speak or understand the said language. To those who know the language but are not used to it, you can convince them to see this as an exposure and preparation for their future.
Pairing up or using a buddy system will help too. One foreigner can be paired up with a native speaker who is also good at speaking English. You can let them learn from each other. The foreigner can teach his or her language to the partner while the partner, on the other hand, can teach the foreigner the native language.
There are still other strategies you can use when it comes to communication. These strategies are mainly used to help other people communicate with another. You should make sure that the said strategies really work out. If not, then you either have to improve or change the strategy you use for the classroom.
