Honestly, we have pocket translator devices nowadays, its not that hard as it used to be.
I mean, I came to the US around 2010, and there were to smartphones to help. I bet those arriving in 2015 or later would just have the teacher use their phone to translate class instructions, or perhaps with school's permission, use their own phone as a translator tool throughout the school, like as a transition phase before actually mastering the language.
