London teachers come from all over the world. They may just speak the English language while their students speak another language. In order for teachers to be able to communicate with their students, they need to get into contact with a translation agency that can work with them in the classroom.
In London, teachers work with German students who don't speak their language. Teachers in the community get together to discuss ways to help their German-speaking students. Teachers in London have partnered with Globus Fremdsprachen , a German translation agency to help them communicate with their students in the classroom. Translators are in the classroom all of the time to help translate what the teacher is saying to the students. This way the students can continue to learn like all the other students. When it comes to documents, the translators can translate it in German for students, so that they can complete assignments.
Without the partnership that teachers in London have with Globus, German-speaking student wouldn't be able to learn. They would have to drop out of school or be forced to learn English. Learning another language can be difficult for a child, so the teachers work around a child's inability. The child may be just as smart as another child, but if the teacher doesn't understand her students, she may think the child doesn't understand.
Translators who work with the students have to be patient and want to work with children. The translation agency picks the best German translators to work with the children. The translator is like the child's second teacher. The child will look up to the translator to teach him or her what the real teacher is.
Teachers believe that every child has the right to learn and be successful. Just because a child doesn't know how to speak English, it shouldn't stop the child from learning. There are ways for a child to learn besides speaking in English. The child can work one-on-one with a translator who can help him or her understand the materials. The translators at Globus Fremdsprachen work long and hard with the teachers and students so that everyone understands one another.
