Struggles with Forced Second Language

In the U.S we have many different cultures. People who arrive to the U.S from a different country need time to learn and adjust to the living environment. As we know by experience learning a new language is a difficult, but sometimes sacrifices are made to give loved one a better life. There are many children who struggle to learn English. Those students are ELD students who take particular classes different from CP and AP classes. ELD students struggle to incorporate English literature into their daily life due to their own culture.

Among the ones seen are students who have immigrant parents. Culture is part of who we are and knowing how to contrast it with our other culture is difficult. ELD students usually struggle with the speaking, reading and comprehending English. English is a big part of our culture due to communication as well to success in life. Bilingual people tend to be hired faster since our country has become a bilingual one, making Spanish more common. Even though it's good to know Spanish it is preferable to know English as well. Students with ELD classes tend to do poorly in states test like CST and DWAs.

One student says she had trouble passing the ELD test which is a regulation for all school to make their students take to differ the students who are fluent in English to those who struggle with it. She stated it that it took her three times to pass her test. While asking her what main language is spoken at home she answered Spanish. Continuing with the question of "Which one of your parents speak English?" she responded with "None, my parents never learned to speak English." when asked what do she struggled with English, her answer was on the complication of the grammar and sound. She stated that English is difficult to her since English grammar rules different than Spanish as well as the sound. Another student who has had difficult in English has said that the most difficult part for him is the discouragement he gets when he does not comprehend English, especially when he is testing. Many students who try their best to succeed and improve in English first get discouraged to continue practicing English and even though schools offer particular classes for these struggling students there should be other methods to help them.
