I have a new student in my beginning ESL class with a stutter.  He knows
that he stutters, but he is not afraid to talk or read in class.  I have
never taught anyone with a stutter before and I was wondering if anyone had
advice for me?  
What encouragement should I give?  How can I tell if he is struggling with
the pronunciation of a word or just stuttering?  Are there any activities
that we could do in class that would help him?  
Any ideas are welcome.  Thanks!
