Learning Disability vs Second Language Development Behaviors Associated with LD Behaviors Associated with SLD Difficulty following directions. Difficulty following directions because the directions were not well understood; it can be harder to remember directions in a second language. Difficulty with phonological awareness. Difficulty auditorily distinguishing between sounds not in one’s first language, or sounds that are presented in a different order. Slow to learn sound-symbol correspondence. Confusion with sound-symbol correspondence when it is different than in one’s first language. Difficulty pronouncing sounds not in the first language. Difficulty remembering sight words. Difficulty remembering sight words when word meanings are not understood. Difficulty retelling a story in sequence. Difficulty retelling a story in English without the expressive skills to do so; yet the student might understand more than s/he can convey (i.e., receptive skills in English might be stronger than expressive skills). May have difficulty concentrating. Learning in a second language is mentally exhausting; therefore, ELLs may seem to have difficulty concentrating at times.
