Parents can ask questions about the homework in the language spoken at home, thus giving the students opportunities to explain the assignment in their first language.
When students experience difficulty with homework assignments, parents can encourage them to attempt to complete the assignment to the best of their ability.  If there are questions about an assignment, parents can communicate with the teacher.
Parents are not expected to model the student’s second language if they are not yet proficient in it.  Children will benefit more when their parents talk to them and read to them in their stronger language. This will develop a strong foundation in the home language, thereby preparing them to acquire their second language.
Students are encouraged to communicate and collaborate with peers for additional language practice and to complete assignments.
