Grrrrrroan!
By cgreen

It's not simple, and to some degree it depends on how much classroom assistance the teachers have, and how much discretion in grading and classroom management.

If most of the kids share a language, assigning students with more English fluency to help the kids with less is an option.

If you do group work, assign each low-fluency kid to a group with high-fluency kids, and let them know that helping their classmate understand the work is part of the task.

If someone can, say, translate vocabulary lists into Korean, or provide a few notes in the L1, that's often very helpful.

Lemme think. It's kind late in the day for me to function.
