Question 5: You are in KG 2. Musa cannot say 'red' in English but points correctly when you say it in Dagbani. What should you do?

Musa demonstrates understanding of the concept of 'red' in his first language (L1). The difficulty lies in expressing it in English, indicating a language barrier rather than a lack of comprehension. The appropriate action is to acknowledge his understanding and assess him in a way that bypasses the language barrier, such as using his L1.
