emerging bilingual

  • Emerging bilinguals are defined as children (ages 3 and above) who speak a native language other than English and who are in the dynamic process of developing bilingual and biliterate competencies (in this case in English and Spanish), with the support of their communities (e.g., parents, school, neighbors). This term is used interchangably with the term emergent bilinguals.

  • 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 a second language (ESL)

  • A program for English language learners in which English is the medium and goal of instruction. Students are generally placed in classes with students of the same level of academic English proficiency (beginner, intermediate, and advanced) and are given specially tailored instruction that moves them toward full proficiency in English in the areas of reading, writing, speaking, and listening [also referred to as ENL (English as a new language) and ELD (English language development)].

  • A form of language education that serves English language learners from multiple language backgrounds with the goal of full development in L2 (English). Assessment and Accountability in Language Education Programs by Margo Gottlieb and Diep Nguyen
  • An academic subject, course, or program designed to teach English to students who are not yet proficient in the language.

English for the Children initiatives

  • Referendums put to voters in four states with large ELL populations that would place severe restrictions on bilingual education programs. In 1998 California voters approved Proposition 227, in 2000 Arizona voters approved Proposition 203, and in 2002 Massachusetts voters approved Question 2. An attempt to pass a similar initiative in Colorado (Amendment 31) failed.

English language development (ELD)

  • An alternative label for English as a second language (ESL) programs and instruction, commonly used at the elementary school level.
