Bilingual learners typically follow a similar writing development pattern to native English speakers.
Products can provide adaptive language that adjusts to the appropriate Vocabulary and Syntax complexity that can be read and understood by learners.
Importantly, creating opportunities for learners to share feedback directly with the product provides space for design teams to catch their own blind spots and commit to continuously improving to create an edtech solution where learners of color are centered in design and meaningful tools are available to support complex and difficult conversations.
