ESL Students Face Difficulty With Remote Learning

LOWELL, MA - SEPTEMBER 19: Laura Gamba, 14, waits with her brother Nicolas, 10, while their mother Luz Gamba receives curriculum from her ESL teacher Sherry Spaulding in Lowell, MA on Sept. 19, 2020. Luz Gamba said through a Spanish interpreter that her children struggled last week to understand their remote lessons in English, because the teacher spoke quickly, and her family has only been in the U.S. for 18 months. My oldest was very upset, because he lost the Internet so many times he lost track of what his teacher was saying, she said. (Photo by Erin Clark/The Boston Globe via Getty Images)
