The US government’s top education official wants schools to do a better job teaching students whose first language is not English. US Education Secretary John King said the issue is important. That is because one in every ten US students from grades kindergarten to 12th grade are English learners.
Most English learners arrive from a country that speaks another language, or have parents from a non-English-speaking country. There has been progress in recent years, King said. He noted Spanish-speaking students are graduating from high school and attending college at higher rates than ever before. "But in too many places across the country, English learners get less access to quality teachers, less access to advanced coursework, less access to the resources they need to succeed," King said. King said a new federal law called the Every Student Succeeds Act can help. It allows school districts more ways to use federal money to improve programs for English learners. That includes better training for English language teachers.
Kelly Gonez is a policy adviser at the Department of Education. She said research shows giving instruction in two languages, English and the student’s native language, is better for English learners. Although it takes them a little longer to master English, they do better on tests that measure reading and math skills, Gonez said. So do people who enter dual-language programs already proficient in English, Gonez said. Sarah Catherine Moore is director of online learning at the Center for Applied Linguistics in Washington DC. She said two recent studies found English learners do better if they attend classes that use both English and the student’s native language.
