- Students who may require more time to fit into school life because they have been raised in different cultural norms.
- Students who are proficient in day-to-day conversation, but struggle with classroom material because they are unfamiliar with academic language.
- Students who do not receive learning support at home because their guardians are not proficient in the Japanese language.
