As a teacher of ESL students, I appreciate how communication barriers impact remote teams. To assist in the effectiveness of communication and collaboration, I implement these strategies: Implement Visuals and Translation Devices – I incorporate images, diagrams, and even Google Translate to ensure understanding during communication. Advocate for Simplified Language – I use clear short sentences, steer clear of idioms, and check for understanding by having students paraphrase important concepts. Utilize Various Forms of Communication – I use different forms of communication such as text, voice, and video to foster understanding and participation for all students.
