Q8:  Literacy: Discuss the role of native language literacy in the acquisition of literacy in a second language. Why is it important for teachers to consider a language learner’s L1 literacy knowledge in planning instruction in L2 literacy? Provide an example of how reading or writing instruction in English is different for a student with little to no L1 literacy skills and an example for a student with well-developed L1 literacy skills.
