How can I make this a beneficial learning experience for this student?

We Answered:

It depends on what grade the student is in. You can research to find a site that translates Spanish into English. Then type in an English sentence to translate it. Then you can use it in the classroom.

Is kindergarten the most important learning experience in a child's life?

We Answered:

What ever the first "formal" school setting experience is, that's the most important. It sets the foundation for learning. No matter how good the roof is, if the foundation is not good, the whole house might collapse.

For teachers, or those with language learning experience: How to best start a class before the text arrives?

We Answered:

I have been an ESl teacher for quite sometime and I rarely use a text. I teach from realia - I bring in everyday items (junk mail, newspaper ads, utility bills, medical bills, phone books, lease agreements, take-out menus, etc.) and I teach using these items. The students actually bring in more than I do. I have found that this helps the students more than any textbook because it is applicable to their lives. I also practice with a telephone (it's not hooked up, of course) and we work on phone etiquette skills. I have brought in guest speakers to simulate real life situations like a receptionist from a drs. office, an attorney, a police officer, just to name a few. Don't worry about the text. Ask your students what area of their lives are most difficult for them and bang you have your lesson plan (or I call it a shared priority). Or, just look at what you do in your everyday life and carry that into the classroom - I promise your students will flourish with this type of approach. Have fun!!
