| It should be additionally noted that the practice of having Muslim minority students attend FL classrooms in mixed ability classrooms needs to be revisited and remodelled. Taking into consideration that these students experience impediments to their learning of English that relate specifically to issues of bilingualism/trilingualism and their different and differing mother-tongues it is necessary that they are provided with further support and ad hoc educational intervention within the classroom setting as well as additional tutoring within the school setting. In this way, their exiting or, in some cases, presupposed bi/trilingual language identities will not hinder their learning of English as a foreign language. |
