Barriers

Language barriers can be an unforeseen force that slows down class time and can be difficult to cope with in a career college environment. Many times while trying to deliver career course content the ability to teach above and beyond can be limiting. Some of the ideas presented here can certainly help, especially limiting the number of vocabulary words per class.

I have had the challenge of working with language barriers. It's extremely difficult when teaching in a technical school where it is difficult to describe some of the technical words. I have explained to the best of my ability what something means and have them translate it into their language. We then have some common ground to work on.
