second dialect speakers

  • These speakers have five common characteristics: (1) They typically self-identify as native speakers of English, regardless of their actual proficiency in standardized forms of spoken or written English. (2) Many are struggling readers and writers of standard American English. (3) Those with low levels of literacy often face the same challenges in reading and writing as beginning level English as a second language students. (4) Their vernacular is stigmatized and discouraged both in school and in their own communities. (5) They often exhibit ambivalent attitudes toward their own vernacular—simultaneously celebrating and denigrating it, depending on the context.

submersion

  • This term describes a “sink-or swim” environment in which ELLs are placed in general education classrooms with English-speaking students and a monolingual English-speaking teacher. With good intentions, administrators and teachers hope that the non–English-speaking children will learn English by being “immersed” in the language. The ELLs’ primary language is seldom used in the classroom or used sporadically for translation purposes. Literacy and academic content instruction as well as texts and supplemental materials are usually not designed or adapted for the ELL students. In the submersion classroom, ELLs are taught as if they do not have diverse academic and linguistic needs. As a result, the ELLs, especially the beginners, often miss important concepts and are not active, engaged, learners. (See contrasting definition of immersion.)

symmetrical bilingual

  • A bilingual who has equal ability in both languages.

syntax

  • Refers to word order within phrases and sentences (how phrases and sentences are constructed), and the rules that govern word order. Often paired with “grammar” to encompass the whole system of rules that describe a language. Teaching for Biliteracy by Karen Beeman and Cheryl Urow
