Today's episode is episode 2 of the 3 part series, which I called, “You Can't Buy Language at Walmart: 3 Essential but Overlooked Details of Teaching Language to Young Newcomers and Beyond”. In the previous episode, I talked about the stages of language acquisition and the most important aspect of learning any language, which is time. If you haven't listened to it, I highly recommend going back and tuning in. Today, I wanted to take you a step further and talk about the language proficiency levels. Different states use different assessment tools to determine where on the English language learning spectrum the students are. But, nonetheless, it is crucial for all educators to know this information if we want to help our multilingual learners progress and succeed in the academic environment at school.

What you will hear about in this episode:

  • Different types of English learners, including newcomers and experienced multilingual learners
  • Importance of understanding language proficiency levels
  • Why teachers should use proficiency based scaffolds in their classroom
  • Correlation between language proficiency levels and language acquisition stages
