Not speaking the language of instruction represents an additional barrier to attaining high proficiency in reading …

„Whether students commonly speak the language of instruction at home is associated with how students read in that language. In many countries, students with an immigrant background who speak the language of instruction at home scored higher in reading than those who do not. Therefore, not speaking the language of instruction represents an additional barrier to attaining high proficiency in reading.“
