Exploring Language Acquisition and Federal Frameworks for English Learners

This session delves into the complex theories surrounding second language acquisition, examining the influences of nature versus nurture, as well as modularity between language and cognition. We will analyze federal ESEA policies, the Common Core Standards, and their implications on English Language Learners (ELLs). Key topics include the accountability of ELL development, the impact of federal law on instructional practices, and the distinctions between language acquisition and cognitive growth. Join us for a comprehensive discussion on these critical frameworks and their role in shaping educational experiences for ELLs.
