English Language Proficiency Assessment for the 21st Century (ELPA21)

  • A consortium of states committed to supporting educators, member states, and members of the public as they adopt and implement the English Language Proficiency Standards and college- and career-ready standards. The consortium is developing an assessment system based on the English Language Proficiency Standards that will inform instruction so that all English language learners (ELLs) leave high school prepared for college and career success. www.elpa21.org

emergent bilingual

  • An alternative label for ELLs that draws attention to the other language or languages in the learners’ linguistic repertoires, situates these learners in a continuum of bilingual development, and emphasizes that a fundamental goal of programs for these learners should be to help them attain high levels of proficiency in both their home language and English.

English as an additional language (EAL) students

English as a second language (ESL)

  • When we use the term ESL, we are describing English as a second language (ESL) as the comprehensible English instruction in which learning academic language is the goal. In some cases we use the term content-based ESL to emphasize that ESL instruction is not taught through a traditional approach in which conversational English is taught through grammar structures and discrete language skills. In comprehensible ESL instruction, the big ideas and requisite terminology of a particular content topic is the focus of the language instruction that is designed to reach English language development standards.

English language learner(s) (ELLs)

  • A student who speaks a non-English language and is enrolled in a U.S. school. This term is generally interchangeable with English learner (EL), and one or the other is prevalent in different states or districts. They are often used in educational programs and policies to identify students who are determined to be “limited English proficient” and in need of ELD services. Recently, this term has been replaced by “dual language learner” for children aged 8 and under by many national organizations and local programs. Young Dual Language Learners by Karen N. Nemeth
