Simulado 9 Concurso Professor De Inglês

1 Officials at the city’s language immersion schools,
which promote fluency by teaching entirely in a foreign
language, say there aren’t enough teachers qualified to
teach every subject in another language.

2 Immersion experts said the problem dilutes the
total-immersion school principles, and some parents want
the school district to place limits on what roles Englishspeaking
teachers can play.

3 This year’s placement of an exclusively Englishspeaking
third grade teacher at Ecole Kenwood, a Frenchonly
immersion school in Columbus, has prompted school
officials to examine how teachers are recruited and
assigned to the schools.

4 When Ecole and the Spanish Immersion
Academy, also in Columbus, first opened in 1987, the
schools recruited French-speaking teachers from Louisiana
or helped foreign-born teachers pay for green cards,
officials said. However, money is much tighter in the
district now.

5 As hundreds of new immersion schools open
nationwide, it’s impossible to keep up with the demand for
foreign-language-speaking teachers, said Julie Sugarman,
a research associate for the Center for Applied Linguistics
in Washington, D.C.

6 “People coming from other countries don’t have
the right credentials to teach,” Sugarman said. “And kids
who grew up here don’t have the language skills to teach in
another language.”

7 Hiring English-speaking teachers for courses like
gym or art is one way immersion schools are
compensating for teacher shortages, but such stopgap
measures compromise programs’ integrity, said Nancy
Rhodes, director of foreign–language education at the
Center for Applied Linguistics.

8 “It’s totally unacceptable,” Rhodes said. “If you
don’t have a speaker of the foreign language teaching, it’s
not immersion at all.”
9 Often, language teachers are trained to teach high
school — where foreign languages typically are taught —
and don’t have the proper certification to teach at the
immersion schools, which serve kindergartners through
eighth grade students, said Carmen Suarez Graff, principal
of the Spanish school.

10 To stretch the roster of fluent teachers, Graff’s
school has hired English-speaking teachers to teach nonclassroom
subjects such as gym or art. All of the
classroom instructors are fluent in Spanish, she said.

11 Principals of both schools say the Englishspeaking
teachers have not hurt their programs because
they only work with student for fractions of the day, but
some parents are pushing for a clause in the next teachers’
union contract preventing English-only speaking teachers
from holding classroom positions in the immersion
schools.

12 Columbus district officials, parents and school
officials are meeting to come up with possible solutions to
the teacher shortages. Among the proposed ideas is
Superintendent Gene Harris’ suggestion that the schools
create a network with Ohio State University to train and
certify foreign language teachers to work in the schools.
