At-Risk Students and the Study of Foreign Language in School
From International Dyslexia Association
Students who have oral and/or written language learning difficulties in their mother tongue may have problems learning another language in school. This does not mean that they should avoid the study of a new language. With appropriate instruction most students can experience success. The keys to success are the responsibility of both teachers and students. Teachers need to provide appropriate, adapted instruction that meets a particular student’s needs. Students need to recognize their learning strengths and weaknesses and stay committed to the task.
