Language Acquisition
Misconception 2: More exposure to language will accelerate acquisition.
More language MAY slow down learning. For students who struggle with the language, researching the topic and talking about it in the home language will help them to get both a better understanding of the content and of what is going on in the classroom. This will help to give them the confidence to use the language they already know.
