Use Chapter 7: Fundamentals of Teaching English Speakers of Other Languages- Kiel
In the text Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, the author discusses some differences in concepts such as space, and paralinguistic. I have noticed that my student, from Mexico, has a smaller proximity to her 4 close friends. She seems comfortable being close to them. However, she will back up or increase the distance between herself and those that are not in her inner circle of friends. Paralinguistically she tends to be silent when she is unsure of what word to use next. She will pause and look up. You can almost see her thinking, but she doesn’t make a sound until she gets the word she was looking for.
