Malayalam among foreign first languages in UK
Malayalam Among Foreign First Languages in UK. According to a report, in the list of top ten fastest-growing foreign first languages spoken in English schools in UK Malayalam is 8th most preferred language.
Hyderabad: According to a report, in the list of top ten fastest-growing foreign first languages spoken in English schools in UK Malayalam is 8th most preferred language. English is now second language in one in nine schools after arrival of Eastern Europeans, according to the report published by reputed Daily. Romanian turns to be the topmost language in the list. Malayalam is the only Asian language to occupy a place in list, while the remaining languages are of Eastern Europe origin.
The report says educating children who do not speak English as their mother tongue also puts a huge financial strain on schools. The report warns quoting a think-tank of the strain on resources was damaging the education of both English children and those from migrant families.
The report says, “In too many cases our schools are simply not set up to accommodate very high proportions of children who start school without fluent English. Those who lose out most in this scenario are migrant pupils as they don’t receive adequate opportunities to develop their English language skills and are therefore at risk of going through the education system at a significant disadvantage”.
