Yes, helper is fine. You can also call them your Teacher �s Assistant.
If you have a roster of designated roles that change weekly, you can use those titles e.g. Lunch Officer, Homework Collector, Whiteboard Cleaner, Clasroom Librarian, etc. |

i would opt for the French-derived expression: "Class Representative" which i-- myself usually use..
Have a great time, Nabila!  |

Dear Jayho,
thxxx that word was the one that I was waiting for...
Because I �ve always said assistants, and I have a colleague who told me that I was
mistaken, that it was just helper.
That means that I can go on saying �my assistants�:)
I think that it sounds better, at least for me, our spanish translation sounds better, too.
Thx a lot to all of you ! Thx Abbes, the same to you :)

�Assistants � comes from �assist � which means to help/aid. Therefore, they are called student helpers/ student aids/student assistants. YOU are right and your colleague is wrong. :)

In China at my University I teach at, there is always one student that is chosen by the rest of the class to be the "class monitor". Their job is to keep a record of absent students, collect homework, assist me in class, etc. |
