    The document describes a survey conducted in a school to determine the percentages of students whose mother tongue is one of several languages. The survey found the majority of students in the lower grades have Creole as their mother tongue, while in the upper grades the majority have Spanish as their mother tongue. Based on these findings, the implications listed are that students may face communication problems, reduced confidence, misunderstandings due to a lack of comprehension of instruction in their non-native language, and potential bullying.

    feel uncomfortable speaking.
    b. This reduces their confidence level to speak up in the class and be reluctant to participate and
    get clarifications
    c. The student will have misunderstandings and misinterpretation and not be able to comprehend
    tasks especially if teacher is not able to speak in the child’s mother tongue. Comprehension
    Barriers
    d. Child may get bullied for wrongly pronounced words.
    e. Child’s participation will be limited. Confidence level will be low.
