ENGAGING CHILDREN IN THICK CONVERSATION IN ENGLISH
COLLABORATION BETWEEN FOREIGN TEACHERS AND STUDENTS
7 CONSIDERATIONS FOR SUPPORTING SPECIAL
STUDENTS
 COLLABORATION BETWEEN FOREIGN TEACHERS AND STUDENTS

 Students are usually visual learners. You need to show them what to do rather than just tell them. Use
visuals instructions.

 Students often can have difficulty with communication. Just because they can’t talk doesn’t mean they
don’t understand you. Be careful what you say in front of them.

 Some students can talk but don’t understand: they need visual strategies to support verbal information.
You may need to minimise your speech so as not to overwhelm them.

 There is always a reason for behaviour: social, sensory, anxiety, communication issues. Remember that
behaviour is a second language.

 Establishing routines and consistency from day to day are also a key component.

 You will need to develop a great relationship with the teacher so you can work together.

 You may want to work with the other students so the teacher has time to work with the student.
