LEP students are student
who have limited ability to speak, read, write, or understand English. They are
unable to communicate effectively because English is not their primary language,
and they have not developed fluency in the language.
In fact, these students
lack the motivation to learn, they have negative attitude to word English, they
lack the confidence and the focus, and this is besides the limited teaching
materials and ineffective teaching strategies used with these students. Hence,
what are the possible solutions?
Beside the factors that
we discussed above, is the cultural back ground and the socio economic status are
also influence. Thereby, there are several things the teacher can use to
minimize this limitation and help the students overcome such obstacle.
I think that the teacher
should act as a motivator; they should try to motivate students to study English
by using several strategies, activities, and adequate material to address their
needs. So, by allowing them to engage and participate in the class they will
feel that they are important contributors to the lesson. Also explaining the
importance of English can work, because if students know the importance of English,
they will remove the negative attitude towards it and attempts to become better
at it when knowing its value in real life. Another important thing is the use
of simple strategies so that the student will be able to move from simple to
complex without feeling a gap in the transitions
