What aspect of a student’s learning can be enhanced by relating their native language to English?

Improved test scores
Greater confidence in speaking English
Reduced comparison to peers
Increased focus on English literacy

The correct answer is: Greater confidence in speaking English

Relating a student's native language to English can significantly enhance their confidence in using English. When students see connections between their native language and English, they are more likely to recognize their existing linguistic skills, which fosters a positive self-image as language learners. This acknowledgment can reduce anxiety associated with language learning environments, allowing students to practice their English speaking skills more freely. Furthermore, when teachers validate a student’s native language, it can create a supportive atmosphere that encourages participation and risk-taking in speaking activities. This increased comfort level can lead to improved verbal communication abilities in English and a greater willingness to engage in conversations, thus boosting their overall confidence in using the language. In contrast, while improved test scores, reduced peer comparison, and an increased focus on English literacy might also be important outcomes, they are typically indirect results of the enhanced confidence in speaking, which is fundamentally linked to how students perceive their ability to communicate effectively in English.
