Abstract
Research shows that inadequate language development contributes to weak performance at school, and in later life. Cas Prinsloo and Shawn Rogers explored the relationship between language and achievement in mathematics and science, as revealed in an initial analysis of the 2011 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS).-
