From the Paper:

"The problem of educating students with limited English proficiency is a complex one, for it is not a matter simply of teaching grammar and syntax, not simply a question of instilling an appreciation for nuance and vocabulary choice. Those students who are not proficient in English are often poor and often immigrants and therefore in need of a variety of services, training, and education. They often have to learn about American culture and American legal and governmental systems as well as learning the English language. Those who have grown up in poverty either in a country other than the United States or in the U.S., are often poorly educated in their own language. Some may not be literate in any language."
