First and Second Language Acquisition Processes

This training module is designed for trainers to assist classroom teachers in the processes a non-English-speaking student goes through as he or she acquires English as a second language. Use this tool to help participants become familiar with the nature of language and language proficiency, with the processes for acquiring the first and second languages and the interrelationship between the two, and with the English as a second language (ESL) categories. Participants can also acquire strategies for placing limited-English-proficient (LEP) students in the appropriate level and program of instruction. This 33-page module comes with session outlines, a pre/post test, and handout and transparency masters.
