Sometimes it is more important for students
to understand a concept than it is
for that concept to be explained exclusively
in English
First of all, I use Spanish to establish
rapport with my students, and secondly,
to serve as a model person who speaks
both languages and uses each one whenever
necessary or convenient.
• I think students can identify better with
a teacher who speaks to them in their
own language, thereby letting them
know that you respect and value their
native language. This is especially
important in the English class because
of the politico-socio-cultural implications
of teaching a language that is basically
imposed on them. In any case, I
like to joke around in the class, and one
really cannot do that in English when
not all students understand it.
