students mexico spanish language barriers classroom

  • Children from rural Mexico may frequently feel uncomfortable in the American classroom environment. For starters, students may have grown up playing only with their siblings and cousins.
  • if a student is attending an American school for the first time, it may also be the first time he or she is surrounded by a different culture, language, food, and set of expectations for behavior. This can make a child feel very nervous, out of place, or shy.
  • the definition of a good education, or una buena educación, held by Mexican parents is far more comprehensive than the dominant American definition of a good education. For Mexican parents, the term una buena educación is a term used to refer to the broad education of a child rather than the solely the schooling of a child. In fact, the term in Spanish meaning “well-educated” is synonymous with the term ser gente decente, or “to be a good person.” A good education serves as the foundation for all other learning and instills in children a sense of moral, social, and personal responsibility. This includes teaching a child how to treat elders with respect, behave properly, and become a person of good moral standing.

  • While parents in rural Mexico place a very high value on education and learning English, mothers bring the cultural understanding that schooling is the responsibility of the teacher and the school rather than the parents. They often do not realize that most children entering kindergarten already know their ABCs, the colors and the numbers. A mother from rural Mexico might expect that her son or daughter would learn all of these things in school.
  • some new immigrant parents may work long hours, may be unable to read, or may fill the house with things other than books or school supplies.
  • she may not understand that teachers’ requests to bring in supplies are to be followed, that classroom open-houses are normally attended by parents, or that homework frequently comes before family time in many American households.
  • Without authentic caring relationships with educators, students may feel disillusioned with their schooling experience and struggle to do well in school
  • To show respect to a teacher, a student may refrain from acting silly or boisterous, may not call out, or may not ask a question if they feel like they would be bothering their teacher.
  • may feel uncomfortable performing in front of the class or displaying information upon request.
  • but would be very willing to share in a small group setting.
  • Assign small group work in class to create a less intimidating environment for a new student. Avoid asking a new student to display their knowledge in front of the class until that behavior seems more familiar. Allow the student to be bicultural! Treat his or her language and ethnicity as assets rather than hurdles to overcome.

    This is a publication of The Council of Europe, " The Council of Europe has a long and well established tradition of developing consensus on the aims and guiding principles of language teaching. Through its programmes of activities and publications it continues to pursue the development of language teaching to meet the needs of the contemporary world. Among its most recent initiatives in this tradition are the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages providing guidelines for teaching, learning and assessment, and the European Language Portfolio which allows learners to plan and reflect upon their learning, and to chart and describe their proficiency. There has also always been a concern to help teachers develop their theory and practice, for example by organising seminars and interaction networks and by publishing compendia which offer examples of good practice." This guide direct teachers to use language as a means to intercultural understanding.

    This post is not about technology. It's about how we (humankind) have been wiring our brains to think about technology. We have quite a hole to climb out of. Not only are our brains already "wired to scout for the bad stuff," the Huffington Post reports, referring to what neuropsychologist and author Rick Hanson calls our "negativity bias."
