10. Conclusion
Children of all ages and talents learn in many different ways. This is no different with students that come to us from
other cultures and countries. As teachers lesson accommodations must be made to assist the educational gaps in the
learning. The accommodations will assist the challenged learner in overcoming challenges in learning content in a foreign
environment that will be a helping hand in becoming a better student and an accomplished human being. In the learning
process these students will show learning and understanding of learning concepts by expressing the knowledge in a manner
that can be relatable and easy for them to convey.
