Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2,0, University of Osnabrück, language: English, abstract: Learners with a migration background are defined as children who, or whose ancestors,
have immigrated to Germany in the last decades. Nowadays it is quite difficult to

difficulties with the German language and therefore also in school.( Knapp 2006, 1)

some others, than migration background, that have influence on learning success.
Furthermore I will expose the graduation chances of learners with migration
background, describe their second language development and the options to assist those
learners.
