It examines key academic definitions of bilingualism or multilingualism and outlines the fundamental challenges students face when navigating subject-specific curriculum in a non-native language. The content emphasizes that language acts as a primary vehicle for learning, necessitating conscious pedagogical attention. It also categorizes vocabulary into three distinct tiers to help educators better structure their instruction and support language development across all subjects.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":20,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/breaking-the-language-barrier-supporting-student-learning/413476/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/breaking-the-language-barrier-supporting-student-learning/413476.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"WPS_1790064749","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-06","2026-09-28",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":44},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What are the three tiers of vocabulary identified in the document?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The three tiers are Tier 1 (everyday vocabulary familiar to most students), Tier 2 (vocabulary used frequently in cross-curricular contexts), and Tier 3 (subject-specific vocabulary).","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"Why is it important for teachers to consider language in their pedagogy?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"As language serves as the vehicle for learning, even teachers instructing in their students' first language must recognize its role as a fundamental attribute of effective pedagogy.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"What are the primary aims of this educational guide?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"The aims are to help educators understand the challenges students encounter when learning through English as an additional language and to explore practical strategies for supporting language development within specific subjects.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},413476,1791366321,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":19,"category_name":20,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":44,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":139,"language":140,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":144,"read_time":26,"preview_page_count":4},3985747859154,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_276721f389ce27ea32af1340a28f341c","Breaking the Language Barrier!  \nLauren Harris  \nEducation Officer,  \nTeaching and Learning Team  \nDoes your partner…  \n• ‘ …[have] native-like control of two or more languages?’  \n(Bloomfield, 1933)  \n• ‘ …[have] the ability to use two or more languages sufficiently to carry on a limited casual conversation…?’  \n(Myers-Scotton, 2006)  \n• ‘ …use two or more languages (or dialects) in their everyday lives?’  \n(Grosjean, 2010)  \nAims  \n• To understand some of the challenges students face when learning through an additional language (English) .  \n• To explore some practical strategies to support language development in your subject.  \nWhat are the main challenges your students face  \nwhen learning your subject in  \nEnglish?
