I have many spanish speaking students ( I do not speak Spanish). I have buddied them up with bilingual students and offer tutoring. I find that the bilingual student helps the Spanish speaker understand the material. It also helps the bilingual learn the material better. I have also noted that the ai (assistant instructor) learns to become more of a leader within their class/ peers/ group.
One issue I have noted is I am British and served 30 years in the US forces. I was raised by gens Vet and Boomers. We were low income in England and didn't get our first black and white tv untill I was 10yo. The problem I have is I am used to a Boomer Gen type of structure and my student drive me arround the bend with their tech withdrawl issues. How is a good way to address this or should I adjust to fit their gen reguirments?
sugestions?
