Discuss the problems of a student whose native language is not English and who also has a learning disability
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: An increasing number of students in U.S. schools come from homes where a
language other than English is spoken in the home. These students are identified as
English-language learners. Some students also have a learning disability in addition to
their poor proficiency in English. They need instruction that treats both of these
problems, that is, methods for English-language learners and methods for their learning
disability.
