It is more important than ever for speech-language pathologists to facilitate native language development in English language learners (ELLs), even when these children attend English-only schools. This self-study video outlines intervention principles, as well as factors to consider when planning intervention programs for ELLs—such as cultural identity, academic achievement, home communication, cross-linguistic transfer, and facilitation factors. The prioritizing of intervention goals is explored through case studies. Specific areas of language intervention for ELL children with language disorders are discussed, including vocabulary, grammar, story structure, and phonemic awareness, in addition to preventive techniques for the classroom and home to address ELLs’ general language needs.

Second Language Acquisition in Children: Considerations for Assessment
Option(s):
Audio CD and Manual, Additional Manual(s)
CEUs:

When performing language assessments in multilingual contexts where English is the second language (L2), important questions must be answered before meaningful assessment can occur. What are the similarities and differences between the first language (L1) and L2 acquisition patterns for phonology, the lexicon and morphosyntax? What factors cause individual differences in children learning a L2? How long does it take for L2 children to perform as well as their native-speaking peers? What happens to the L1 of minority children learning English as an L2? This audio self-study provides an overview of the research on children learning a second language, with a special focus on informing language assessment in multilingual contexts when English is the L2.
