abstract
This longitudinal study followed over 2,000 elementary children
for four years. The comprehensive data collection documented an
array of child, family, classroom, teacher, school, district, and
community information. The study concluded that providing LEP students
with substantial instruction in their primary language does not
interfere with or delay their acquisition of English language skills,
but helps them to "catch-up" to their English-speaking
peers in English language arts, English reading, and math. In contrast,
providing LEP students with almost exclusive instruction in English
does not accelerate their acquisition of English language arts,
reading or math, i.e., they do not appear to be "catching-up."
The data suggest that by grade six, students provided with English-only
instruction may actually fall further behind their English-speaking
peers. Data also document that learning a second language will take
six or more years. |
