Abstract
Multilingual Learners (MLs) should effectively participate in all educational and special programs within a school district. MLs may need language development and other types of support that must be included in everyday classroom instruction. For students enrolled in English language development programs for MLs, instruction must be individualized to the student’s English language proficiency. It is important to remember that many MLs have first language and literacy knowledge and skills that boost their acquisition of language and literacy in an additional language; additionally, they bring an array of talents and cultural practices and perspectives that enrich our schools and classrooms. Teachers must build on skills and talents and provide those students who need it with additional time and appropriate instructional support. This includes language proficiency standards that teachers can use in conjunction with the ELA standards to assist MLs in becoming proficient in all four domains (Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking) of academic English.
