Very careful handling of foreign language students on Word Clearing is required.
The first requirement is Method One in the person’s basic language. If the person speaks several languages, or lived in several countries, the languages would be handled in the sequence they were encountered.
To do Method One in English on a French person without first doing M1 in French is more or less a waste of time. The person won’t make it in English until the earlier misunderstoods connected with the earlier language are fully handled.
When Word Clearing a person who speaks a foreign language, it is imperative to have a proper dictionary in that language to hand. Do not use the English/French or English/German “dictionary” for it is not a dictionary but a reference manual only and does not contain full and proper definitions.
The most charged language(s) will be that first learned and that used in school.
Obviously, it is best for a foreign language person to be audited on M1 by an Auditor who speaks the same language. However, if one was not available, it could be done by writing up the M1 list phonetically in the language concerned and running a standard M1, making sure that the Pc keeps the Auditor very well informed on the definitions in the dictionary.
Foreign language students on Courses are usually provided with translated tape courses. In this case, the full technology on handling tape courses and their repair must be fully applied. M2 and 4 on tapes must be set up for immediate handling in Tech and Qual.
It could be also that a foreign language student cannot read English because of unhandled problems on reading his own language and so would greatly benefit from an M7 on a reading text in his own language.
If a foreign language student is studying an English text, he must have an English and the foreign language dictionary to hand, so that if he runs into difficulty on the English definition, he can check up on the foreign language definition difficulty, straighten that one, then handle the English definition.
We can get any student, Pc or staff member through if we fully use all forms of Word Clearing fully.
