Answer:
- Learning requires meaning. We learn when we use what we already know to help us understand what is new. Another premise to the first principle is that the second language learners use what they know in their own language to help develop other languages. This positive transfer effect has been found to be significant in reading.
- Learners who were found developed skills in their first language have been shown to acquire additional languages more easily and fully in that, in turn, has a positive impact on academic achievement.
- The use of the learner's home language in the classroom promotes a smooth transition between home and school. It means that learners get more involved in the learning process and speeds up the development of basic literacy skills.
