I speak a little spanish and i have a population of students that dont understand english that well so i talk to the in spanish is it ok for me to do that?
When talking to them in class, I would talk to them in English since it should be the medium of instruction. Besides, ESL is a prerequisite to the courses I teach. By encouraging them to communicate in English, I am helping them put into practice what they learned in ESL.
I think you should stress all in english bc they will have to speak english in the works force. The more you stress english, the more they feel or motivatd to learn it.
