Language and learning are inextricably linked. Language is one of the most important means by which we learn and refine our understanding of concepts. Success in learning is therefore tied to language development. Competence in English language is clearly a factor which influences the school experience and learning outcomes of EAL students. Students not only acquire English language to communicate with their peers and teachers but also to continue the process of conceptual development begun in either a language other than English or in another variety of English.
~ESL Students: Some factors influencing their school experiences and learning outcomes, Debra Burke
