Principle I: Provide Multiple Means of Representation
Guideline 2: Provide options for language, mathmatical expressions and symbols
It will be important to provide Nyunt with native language accommodations .
Checkpoint 2.1: Clarify vocabulary and symbols
- Pre-teach vocabulary and symbols that will connect words to Nyunt's experience and prior knowledge.
Burmese is not similar to English, so it may be necessary to provide her with a bilingual word list that will allow her to connect words from her first language to new English words. As her vocabulary grows, she will be able to expand the sheet to her level.
Checkpoint 2.4: Promote understanding across languages
- Make all key information in the dominant language (e.g., English) also available in first languages(e.g., Burmese)
- Provide translation tools
With the help of a interpreter or electronic translation tool, test items should be read aloud in Nyunt's first language.
