From the Paper:

"The purpose of the study focused on the primary language impairment of linguistically diverse students. The researchers intent was to develop appropriate interventions for students that had difficulty with their language of origin, despite their enrollment in an educational system, which supported another language. The researchers developed specific questions to be addressed within the study. These questions were: * Why support the home language when it is not the language used in school for the majority community? * Does continued support for the home language undermine attainment in the second language? * Should we support the home language when it includes the code switching or mixing of two traditionally separate languages? * What are some strategies that can be used to support the home language when it is a language that the speech language pathologist (SLP) does not speak ?"
