For teachers in ESL or EP Programs, it must be recognizable that many students struggle with word problems. it seems that the language barriers are just too much sometimes.
What can we do? Well teachers, you can:
-rewrite your material in very basic wordings.
-use cooperative learning strategies (student can communicate in their own language)
-let students reproduce the material in their own wordings
-understand the difficulties, but never give up
-use other strategies than written words (act out,m make video material, songs, posters, etc..)
-create vocabulary handouts
I am very curious what other option, we math teachers have!
