Striving Toward Biliteracy in Mainstream, English as a Second Language, and Bilingual Classrooms

Abstract: The development of biliteracy among English language learners (ELLs) has been established as a critical issue in education policy and practice. We live in an era of increasing globalization, which results in increased numbers of immigrants in the United States. As a result, significant proportions of students in U.S. schools come from homes where English is not used as the primary language; however, these students, as emergent bilinguals, are required to navigate language and culture in mainstream, English as … Show more

The following practices are best applied among multilingual children in kindergarten through eighth grade.…”
