It's like pulling teeth to teach academic language in L2 to someone who never got it in L1.  Can you imagine explaining in English the concept of gravity to a high schooler who'd never heard of it before?  That's what the mainstream teachers don't understand.

Does this mean that if a person does not have academic language in L1 they
cannot get it in their L2?
