10 Common Classroom Problems
1. Students become overly dependent on teacher
Many times, students will automatically look to the teacher for correct answers instead of trying themselves. If the teacher obliges them with the answer each time, it can become a detrimental problem. Instead, focus on giving positive encouragement to students. This will help to make students more comfortable and more willing to answer (even if incorrectly).
2. Persistent use of first-language
When teaching English as a foreign language, this is possibly the most common problem. As an ESL teacher, it's important to encourage students to use English, and only English. If students begin conversing in their first language, move closer to the student. Ask them direct questions like "do you have a question?" Another idea is to establish a set of class rules and develop a penalty system for when they use their first-language. For example: if a student is caught using their first-language three times, have them recite a poem in front of the class (in English). For the 1-2 hours they are in English class, it must be English only.
3. Student is defiant, rowdy, or distracting of others
This will happen, no matter what, in every classroom. If the entire class is acting up, it may be the fault of the teacher ie. boring material or poor classroom management. If it one particular student, you should react swiftly to show dominance. In order to resolve the issue, an ESL teacher must be strict and discipline the student if needed. If it continues to happen, further disciplinary action through the school's director could be pursued.
4. Students "hijack lesson" - The lesson doesn't go where you want it to
When teaching English as a foreign language, you can always count on students hijacking a lesson. To some extent, this can be a good thing. It shows that students interest, and as long as they are participating and conversing in English, it is a productive experience. However, if the lesson strays too far off topic, in a direction you don't want it to go, it's important to correct the problem by diverting the conversation.
5. Personalities between students clash
Not every student in an ESL classroom will become best of friends. If drama arises between certain students, the easiest solution is to seperate them away from one another. If the tension persists, switching a student to another classroom may be your only option.
6. Students unclear what do to, or do the wrong thing
This happens far too often when teaching English as a foreign language. The fact is, it's often the fault of the teacher. If your instructions to an assignment yield looks of confusion and soft whispers among students, don't worry, there is a solution. In order to avoid this problem, it's important to make sure your instruction are clear. Use gestures, mime, and short concise sentences. Speak clear and strong. Most importantly, use models and examples of the activity. You can use pictures, miming, gestures etc. to model the entire activity exactly how you want the students to do it.
7. Students are bored, inattentive, or unmotivated
Many times, it is the teachers fault that class is boring. Fortunately, with proper planning, this problem can be solved. Choose a juicy theme to the lesson; one that the students can relate to and one you know they will enjoy. This will automaticaly give them some motivation and interest. Get to know your students and identify their interests and needs, then design your course accordingly.
8. Strong student dominance
As an ESL teacher, you will encounter students of different learning capabilities and language skills. While it is good to have some students who excel in the classroom, it is important that they don't take away from others. If certain students begin to constantly "steal the show," take warning. Focus on calling on weaker students in the class to answer questions. Encourage, but gently deflect some answers from the strong students and give production time to other not-so-strong members of the class.
9. Students are unprepared
The last thing you want as an ESL teacher is for students to drop out simply because they felt lost and/or unprepared. Concentrate on a more shared learning experience. Make sure students are all on the same page before moving onto a new topic by concept checking multiple times, and encouraging individual participation.
10. Tardiness
Even I have a hard time arriving places on time. But the truth is, tardiness is not only rude, it can be distracting and disruptive of other students. If tardiness becomes a problem for your students, make sure they are disciplined. Set rules about tardiness and penalties for breaking them.
The goal of teaching
Staying awake and interested in class can be difficult. But what's even more difficult is being responsible for keeping students awake and interested. This is the job of an ESL teacher first and foremost. In order to be a great ESL teacher, one must not only teach, but inspire and empower. The goal is to excite the students about learning, speaking, reading, writing, and comprehending English. Keep the advice in this article as a tool to be used often, and you will be one step closer to that goal.
OTHER COMMON PROBLEMS OF THE CHILD;
When selecting a preschool for their child, parents should be aware of certain problems or warning signs that might make them decide to look at a different preschool provider. These problems or warning signs may include:
• negative reactions from other parents
• inattention to established rules and regulations (Schools should have clearly established written guidelines for everything from operating hours to managing emergencies.)
• lack of a sick-child policy (The preschool should require both staff and children to have current immunizations and regular checkups.)
• indicating they are hiding something, schools that balk at parents dropping by unannounced
• schools that either have no structure whatsoever or a structure that is inflexible
• lack of age-appropriate activities and toys
• an underqualified staff
• large class sizes
• dirty, unsafe facilities
• an expired license
• schools that promise to put a child on an academic fast track (These highly structured, intensive preschool academic programs create inappropriate expectations from children
NUTRITION
Malnutrition in Young Children from Low-Income Families
Most common nutritional problems in early childhood are
iron deficiency, anemia, resulting in chronic fatigue
not eating adequate amounts of quality meats and dark green vegetables
Low-income families are most likely to develop iron deficiency
11 million children are undernourished in United States
SLEEP PROBLEMS
Sleep Patterns some common characteristics:
Transitional Objects children repeatedly use as bedtime companions - usually soft & cuddly & most developmentalists view them as representing transition from being dependent person to being more independent
Nightmares frightening dreams that awaken sleeper more often toward morning than just after child has gone to bed
Night Terrors sudden arousal from sleep & intense fear accompanied by number of physiological reactions: rapid heart rate & breathing, loud screams, heavy perspiration & physical movement
Somnambulism during deepest stage of sleep common in about 15 percent of children
Many times, students will automatically look to the teacher for correct answers instead of trying themselves. If the teacher obliges them with the answer each time, it can become a detrimental problem. Instead, focus on giving positive encouragement to students. This will help to make students more comfortable and more willing to answer (even if incorrectly).
