From the Paper:

"The number of limited English proficient (LEP) children attending British schools has risen dramatically over the past decade. Being prepared for this population growth involved the development of special language teaching programs. The challenge of educating LEP students arises from the growth and diversity of this group of students and their diverse academic and social needs (Minicucci & Olsen, 1992). Meeting the academic and social-emotional needs of these children is a challenge which will continue to be of major importance as the world's inhabitants, even the poorest ones, begin to have more access to transportation as a means to travel to more prosperous nations than their own."
