Technology Bridges the Language Gaps

About five million K-12 students in the United States do not speak English fluently, and their numbers are growing fast. While these children currently make up 10 percent of the total student population, researchers estimate that they could make up as much as 40 percent by 2030. Schools across the country are turning to technology to help them better serve these students whose success will increasingly drive graduation rates, test scores and other school-quality metrics and to help connect with their families.
