She thinks if you are in America you should be speaking English and if students are learning another language in school it takes time away from other curriculum. During the San Francisco School Board meeting, many people shared their thoughts having all San Francisco public schools students become bilingual. Dr. Ling-chi Wang, a scholar and activist, shared that knowing a second language stimulates and enhances learning in other subjects.

Moreover, learners
The social isolation due to hearing loss and the lack of stimulation delivered through the ears to the brain are the major reasons for this connection. The people with untreated hearing loss are seen less healthy than those seeking the treatment. Emotions: A comparison of older adults using the hearing aids and the ones who are not, depict a significance difference in the general satisfaction and happiness in life. The people who did not treat their hearing loss issue were more likely to report sadness, depression, anxiety, worry, insecurity, less social activity and emotional turmoil.

The language we use creates a barrier between separate cultures and exposes our personal identity as demonstrated through Mother Tongue, Slang in America and The F Word. The use of language can effortlessly
Different language communities have certain ways of talking that will set them apart from others and those differences are known as dialects. Dialects are not just accents but also grammar, vocabulary, syntax and common expressions used.One is able to identify and distinguish between different people, different ethnicities and races as people speak different languages.

To such people I ask, then do people truly have control over their own mental health? The fact is, one always has more control on their own mental health than any external force. So no matter how difficult it can get, there is always a way to resist depression. Given these points, it is clear that isolation causes people to suffer from depression. Parental isolation, social isolation, and the refusal to try new things are all gateways to this awful disease.

In the globalized world being bilingual has a lot of advantages besides that learning a new language has become a necessity.

Sparks, Ganschow, and Patton (2008) claimed that through provision of sufficient support, students with learning disabilities can improve in their foreign language learning. In this line, TOPPELBERG, et al (2013) mentions that quality of L2 input is of crucial importance in children with developmental disorders due to their deficits in many areas including communicative, discourse and pragmatic skills. Krapez (2010) also mentions that through using special pedagogical approaches or methods of training, and teachers’ high level of foreign language proficiency, students at-risk can succeed in learning certain foreign language skills. In support of this view, DiFino & Lombardino (2004) states that traditional methods which focused solely on memorization of lexicon and structures of a language aggravated language learning difficulties of students with learning disabilities. Therefore, appropriate alternations should be made to curriculums to allow students with learning disabilities to enter language programs by considering their special needs for
