An ELL “newcomer” arrives in a fifth-grade class. The expectation is that the student must have access to grade-five level content.

The school-approved translation service, Systran, does not provide translation in the student’s language (Kinyarwanda). So, the teacher does their best to produce an English-Kinyarwanda dual-lingual text with Google Translate, and, by good fortune, is able to have it peer-reviewed by a teacher that does speak the student’s home language.
