Helping students with a second language in their class rooms

It is also very helpful to point out some similar words between the two languages

I allow students to buddy with another student who is bi-lingual. Then, the can share translations. especially for complicated concepts and terms. It is important to emphasize that most employers will expect you to have solid skills in the English language--so I encourage the students to work hard to make the transitions needed.

It is also helpful to use both visual and audio teaching strategies.

English is my second language. I came from a different country and had to learn a lot. I kow how hard it is and what it takes. I try to keep the concepts simple and use many examples of how these concepts can be applied.
