Tips In Promoting Bilingual Strategic Communications

By Rosella Campbell


It should be a given for people to learn in the classroom. This is especially true when they have a good teacher that teaches them the concept of what they are supposed to learn. If you are one of the best teachers in town and you are teaching in a world-renowned university, then having students from all over the world is common.

If you are the teacher in this kind of classroom setting, you are the one in charge of ensuring that no one is left behind. Everyone in your class should be able to get along well with each other. To make that possible, you have to let them communicate. You can do this, despite having people from all over, if you have bilingual strategic communications.

The said strategy is really applicable in a world-renowned university where the class is filled with a diverse populace. You might have students who are from the East or some from the West. You have to make sure that the language does not become a hindrance to their learning and to them getting along with the others.

If the language becomes the problem, this might then cause isolation. The lone student who is yet to understand the common language being spoken in the classroom will really be left behind. This might even trigger the feeling of not attending class or homesickness for the said lone student. That would pose a problem in and of itself.

You have to make use of the appropriate strategies for the said problem. In communication, you should be able to have a strategy that does not leave anyone out. When you have a proper strategy you can use, then you can help the student gain his or her first friend when he or she is in the said classroom.

Since you have various strategies you can use, it is better for you to pick the one that you are used to. For example, you can take advantage of the English language for this. You will certainly find this helpful for you since you can allow each of the students understand each other. Communication is made possible by speaking English.

There should be no one who will be against speaking in English if you are teaching in a world-renowned university. This is the good thing about such universities aside from their quality education. Even though the students are not yet used to speaking the language, then you can get them started now.

You may also take advantage of a buddy system for this kind of problem. This means that you will be pairing up a foreign speaker with a native speaker who speaks the English language fluently. The two students can definitely learn from each other. They can teach each other the language the other one speaks.

You can still take advantage of a few strategies when it comes to the communication in a classroom. Know what these other strategies are and use the ones that really work out with the kind of environment you have. It should be easy to promote the strategy you have in mind if it is suitable for your kind of environment.
