Students and Their Language

            Students should not only have the right to use their own language in an academic setting, but be encouraged to do so. Without the right to their own language what do students to have a right to? It’s important for students to have this right because it will allow students to learn how to express their own language with an academic background in mind. In including factual information and having organization in one's writing is a key necessity to great writing, but students also need to learn how to separate their writing with the rest and they can do this with their own unique language. Expressing your language as a writer is an extremely important skill to have. It separates your writing form everyone else’s. It gives us style and originality, but most importantly a voice.  But you need to be able to express your language in a way others will be able to understand your writing. That is why it is crucial that students have the right to use their language in an academic setting. They will be able to learn that important concept in an academic setting with teachers to help guide them. With the right to their language students will find the purpose and importance of their own language. This will help build stronger writers and bring diversity and originality to writing in the learning environment. The key to success in all writing is have your own style, originality, and identity, that's why it is important for students to have the right to their now language in an academic setting.
