Language minority students
Language minority students are individuals who are learning or using a language different from the dominant or majority language spoken in their community or country. They may come from homes where a different language is spoken, or they may be immigrants or refugees adjusting to a new linguistic environment. These students often face unique challenges in education, such as developing proficiency in the mainstream language while maintaining their native language and cultural identity. Supporting language minority students involves providing tailored instruction, resources, and encouragement to help them succeed academically and socially.
