Language has a big effect on student success. Concepts have to be explained to students in a way that they will understand. There are various ways that language impacts understanding; knowing the language that is used for instruction, presenting ideas using words, and examples that students will understand.

Unfortunately, language does have an impact on students' success. I know many teachers who know strategies to better their lessons or resources for MLL students and parents, but it can be a lot of work to do all of the differentiation necessary. Thankfully, my school has a wonderful MLL teaching force that really support both students and families, but MLL students are learning both language and academics at the same time. It takes a longer time for them to pick up on things.

Language is so important for students to communicate and understand during learning activities.  All forms of language-spoken, written, visual, body language, formal, informal, academic—have a huge impact in a student’s ability to learn and in how they feel as they are learning.
I think that while it is very important to use academic language as much as possible so students have a common knowledge and framework for learning, it is also necessary at times to use non-academic language to build personal relationships with students and to teach them the academic knowledge. This is especially true at the younger grades.

Language impacts my students success differently depending on setting/situation. In formal writing, discussions academic language is expected. In informal activities, discussions, etc. it has less of an impact. I think there needs to be a balance of both informal and formal language in the classroom

It also allows them to receive information effectively.

While having a common language can be beneficial, we want to be careful not to minimize, other, or  diminish someone else's language.  The King's English is not necessarily the standard.

Even though a person's language is who they are, we need to also develop academic language so that we can understand each other and have a common language when discussing academics.
