Summary
The term dual-language learner describes a child who is learning two or more languages simultaneously. In the context of this course, those languages include English and a home language. In supporting dual-language learners, it is essential that both languages are respected and well understood. English is the practical language needed to navigate the educational settings of North America. The home language is the “emotional language needed for maintaining family relationships, values, and traditions” (Passe, 2012). North American childcare centers and classrooms have become increasingly diverse, with children bringing culturally rich backgrounds to the educational space. Educators are often faced with the difficult challenge of determining the best ways to teach dual-language learners and the most effective means to communicate with and support the families of dual-language learners.
