Chapter 1 Target 3

I can explain why a language disorder may become more obvious once a child enters school.

You shared:
  • Because it is in a different setting
  • Because the students are exposed to other people
  • It is not their native language
  • They may not be able to express their needs
  • School explores a variety of communication styles
To show an understanding of the important issue in this situation . . . we must understand look at the
  1. What is the question asking you to DO - EXPLAIN
  2. KEY WORD(S) - LANGUAGE disorder, CHILD  and ENTERS SCHOOL
So, to demonstrate you understand why the child may exhibit a language disorder once he enters school . . .
Using your answers in bullets 1, 2, 4 & 5 - The child's family is used to how the child communicates and can understand him when he tells them what he wants or needs.  They have become accustomed However, when he enters school which is a different setting with different expectations and ways of communication it becomes apparent that the child has difficulties with communicating. 

The reason why a NATIVE LANGUAGE would not be correct here is because a language DIFFERENCE is not considered a language DISORDER.

I understand that a language difference can not be considered a disorder. From a teacher's perspective, I can see how a language barrier would be difficult for a child to learn in your classroom, and also for you to teach him. This would be an interesting thing to come across, and I will be interested to know how other teachers in this situation are able to overcome this barrier in order to teach this child properly.
