But it is important to remember that one who is aware of the linguistic 
features of a language can be of benefit as well...

Subject: Re: [EnglishLanguage] native language literacy


Offering literacy courses in the first language is ideal but impractical for 
programs such as the one I work in. Our students come from Africa, Asia, 
Central and South America and Europe.  It would be impossible to offer 
literacy classes in many languages, not to mention finding instructors.
