Students often ask me how they can stop thinking in their native language and think in English. So many of them have told me that this prevents them from learning English. These students live and work with their native language; they do not use English until they arrive in the classroom.
I have suggested they listen to the radio, watch TV and see movies in English to practice hearing and understanding the language.
Also reading books with a Spanish/English, Polish/English, etc. dictionary and/or thesaurus in hand.
What else can I do to help them?
Thanks in advance!
