• Commonsense notions about language, language acquisition, and language use. Foundations for Multilingualism in Education by Ester de Jong

• A condition in which a person who originally spoke one language (e.g., Navajo) no longer retains any functional proficiency in that language because it was replaced with another language. Language loss can also occur on the community level. Teaching Adolescent English Language Learners by Nancy Cloud, Judah Lakin, Erin Leininger, Laura Maxwell

• Speaker of a language other than the one used by the majority of the people in the country (e.g., Spanish speaker in the United States); also referred to as an English language learner or a two-language learner. Teaching for Biliteracy by Karen Beeman and Cheryl Urow
• A term applied to students who come from a minority group and speak a language other than English, including those whose first language is not English or those who speak a variety of English, as used in a foreign country or U.S. possession, that is so distinct that ELL instruction is necessary (e.g. Liberian English). These students may or may not be proficient in English.Teaching Adolescent English Language Learners by Nancy Cloud, Judah Lakin, Erin Leininger, Laura Maxwell

language policy

• Formal and informal decisions about language use; includes laws, regulations, and statutes, as well as practices. Foundations for Multilingualism in Education by Ester de Jong

language proficiency

• The ability to use language accurately and appropriately in its oral and written forms in a variety of settings. Proficiency varies as a function of the context, purpose, and content of communication (see BICS and CALP). Teaching Adolescent English Language Learners by Nancy Cloud, Judah Lakin, Erin Leininger, Laura Maxwell

language revitalization

• Efforts at increasing the number of (fl uent) speakers of an endangered language. Foundations for Multilingualism in Education by Ester de Jong

language shift

• Increased use of the dominant language over the use of a minority language. Foundations for Multilingualism in Education by Ester de Jong

language-specific approximation

• This occurs when children encode text in nonstandard but rule-governed ways that are appropriate to each of the languages. Biliteracy from the Start by Kathy Escamilla, Susan Hopewell, Sandra Butvilofsky, Wendy Sparrow, Lucinda Soltero-González, Olivia Ruiz-Figueroa, and Manuel Escamilla

language status equalization

• Efforts to make the status of and access to the minority language more like that of the majority language. Foundations for Multilingualism in Education by Ester de Jong

late-exit transitional bilingual program

• A program that uses a child’s native language as a medium of instruction for all or part of a school day while the child is learning English. As the child acquires English, less of the native language is used for instruction and, eventually (usually after grade 5), English becomes the dominant or only medium of instruction. Both early- and late-exit programs are considered to be subtractive education models because their goal is English acquisition rather than biliteracy. Late exit programs offer bilingual instruction for five to six years.

letras tramposas (tricky letters)

• Letters in Spanish that produce the same sound (e.g., b/v; c/s/z; c/qu/; j/g; ll/y). They are described as “tricky” because the phonology of Spanish is otherwise regular and transparent. They are often the focus of a word wall in Spanish. Teaching for Biliteracy by Karen Beeman and Cheryl Urow

These students must develop literacy for the first time and acquire the academic content knowledge and skills they have missed. A newcomer program is one that is designed for students who lack prior schooling and must learn to read and write for the first time. These programs generally try to accelerate learning as much as possible to make up for lost time and often do so by extended schooling options (extended day, year) (see newcomer program). Teaching Adolescent English Language Learners by Nancy Cloud, Judah Lakin, Erin Leininger, Laura Maxwell

literacy-based ELD instruction

• A Literacy Squared text-based innovation that is especially designed to promote English literacy development in Spanish-English emerging bilingual students. Instruction builds on and refines the literacy skills and strategies as well as the conceptual knowledge that students are developing in Spanish and does not reteach them. Instead, it teaches children how skills and knowledge can be applied to reading, writing, speaking, and listening in English. Literacy-based ELD instruction further develops students’ awareness of the similarities and differences between English and Spanish literacy skills. Equal amounts of instructional time are devoted to oracy, reading, and writing that are specific to English and to metalanguage to help children make cross-language connections.
