What could be a result of not providing accommodations for language proficiency?

Not providing accommodations for language proficiency can lead to a potential misrepresentation of a student’s knowledge. This occurs because students who are still developing their language skills may struggle to demonstrate their understanding of the content due to the language barrier, rather than a lack of knowledge. When assessments do not take into account a student's proficiency in the language of instruction, the results may reflect their language challenges instead of their true understanding of the subject matter. This misrepresentation can result in unfair evaluations and hinder students' academic progress, as they may not receive the support necessary to demonstrate their actual capabilities and knowledge in the subject area.
