Many students participate in extra language classes outside of school, yet they often struggle to transfer what they have learned into their written work. Some parents also hold the misconception that performing well on ‘fill-in-the-blanks’ worksheets means their child is ready to exit the program.

Parents could benefit from information sessions explaining how language learning works.
