[quote=Anonymous]I'm an ESOL teacher and most teachers will pair a non-English speaker with a peer buddy who speaks their language. Most teachers only ask that buddy to interpret when it is very important- directions for emergency drills, important paperwork that needs to be signed and brought back to school, etc. And most ESOL kids who are beginners get pulled out of class for short periods of up to an hour a day. They are not allowed to be isolated from their English speaking peers. I often give the teacher guidance for who to choose to be this peer buddy. I have seen students with behavior issues become very motivated and responsible when you ask them to be a peer buddy.[/quote]
