language acquisition

  • The process of acquiring language that has three conceptualizations: (1) individual cognitive (the individual learner must figure out the rules of the linguistic system from the language to which he or she is exposed), (2) social (language learning is not a strictly individual cognitive act, rather, it is presumed to be situated and social, with ELLs learning the local norms of social usage primarily through interaction with others, and (3) emergent or usage-based (combines cognitive and social views of learning; language development is seen as an adaptive, dynamic process). From 2.4 (Larsen-Freeman) in Common Core, Bilingual and English Language Learners edited by Guadalupe Valdés, Kate Menken, and Mariana Castro

  • A program for students in preschool through later grades that is designed to immerse them in a new language.

Young Dual Language Learners by Karen N. Nemeth

language loss

language majority

language minority

  • A term applied to a student who speaks a minority language or a language other than the dominant societal language. In the United States, this refers to a speaker of any language or variety of language other than standard English (e.g., black vernacular English or Ebonics, Spanish). English Language Learners at School, second edition by Else Hamayan and Rebecca Field
  • Describes students who speak a language other than the dominant societal language (Freeman, 2004). In the United States, language minority students speak a language other than English at home. Some language minority students, especially those who are born in the United States, are also English-proficient speakers. Others within this group speak the home language and have various English language proficiency levels. In other words, all ELLs are language minority students but all language minority students are not ELLs.
