These are tips that we have shared in various ESL classes & “awareness” workshops. Simple guidelines when working with employees with Limited English Proficiency (LEP).
Communicate to the main idea – Keep phrases and sentences as simple as possible. Don’t’ use broken English.
- Think of at least one other way to rephrase what you want to say.
Avoid asking “yes/no” questions or asking “Do you understand?” Remember to ask “wh-“ questions or open-ended questions to check comprehension:
i.e. Instead of asking, “Did you talk to your supervisor?” ask, “Who did you talk to?”
In place of, “Do you work tomorrow?” you could say, “When are you free / off this week?”
The point is to ask a question in a way to elicit a specific response and not just a “yes/no” answer.
When they are speaking to you:
- Invite them to speak slowly.
- Give them time to communicate.
Ask yourself:
- Am I doing all I can to be understood? SHOW then what you want.
- Am I trying to learn about my employees both personally and culturally?
Please don’t:
- Assume that a lack of English proficiency indicates that lack of intelligence.
- Assume that inability to express thoughts clearly means workers can’t understand you.
