Students’ right to their own language

           

I think students should have the right to use their own language in an academic setting because if they can feel more comfortable in school when talking with their language they can learn better.  If they feel like they should talk in their language to their friends when doing project or assignment in class, they can do it.  The students cannot say bad things in their own language to others or teachers.  This action will not be tolerated in the classroom.  The school does not want people saying derogatory things to cause people to fight one another.  The students should be able to talk their language in school because they can interact with others and also pick up on other student’s languages.  Their language is the dialects of their nurture. They grew up learning the importance of their own language.  Students are proud in their language because of how it is surviving through generations and generations.  They want their language to survive just like their country has been doing it for a longtime.  Not all students need to learn English but if you go to school it’s a requirement to learn about it in school. There is no language that is more dominate than other languages.  All languages are equal.  Teachers should allow student to use their own language in the classroom.  Talking their language is their identity to people. Students should have the right to use their own language in an academic setting and this should not be taken away.
