When a child is immersed in a high-quality bilingual education or surrounded by a foreign language, the acquisition becomes a whole-brain engagement. Young children are encouraged to learn language.Â
Taking advantage of ELLs' home language resources is asking no more than the same respect and appreciation for this group of learners. Parents, teachers, educational leaders in local school districts, and politicians should discuss how best to provide all students in the U.S. with high quality educational programs that promote competence in additional languages. We need Spanish language read-along sets for my students to use in the listening center.
At stake is not only the competitiveness of individual students once they enter the workforce, but, indeed, the ability of the U.S. itself to compete in an increasingly multilingual and multicultural world.
