Will someone please check my answer
to make sure I have chosen the most appropriate choice.
1. Gabriella speaks Spanish at home with
her family and friends. She attends
public school where she is learning
some English and is instructed in
English for all of the subjects.
Gabriella is an example of a:
A. English-Minority learner
B. Second-Language learner
C. Minority-Language learner
D. billingual student
Wouldn't (B) Second-Language learner
be the best answer?
Yes, it's B.
To determine the most appropriate choice for this question, let's break down the information provided.
Gabriella speaks Spanish at home with her family and friends, indicating that it is her first or primary language. However, she attends a public school where she is learning some English and is instructed in English for all of the subjects.
With this information, we can rule out choices A and C because Gabriella's first language, Spanish, is not considered a minority language in this context.
Choice D, "bilingual student," could be a possibility since Gabriella is learning both Spanish and English. However, it doesn't specifically highlight that English is her second language.
Choice B, "Second-Language learner," seems to be the most suitable option because it describes Gabriella's situation accurately. She is learning English as her second language in school while Spanish remains her primary language.
Therefore, you are correct in choosing option B, "Second-Language learner," as the most appropriate choice for this question.
