Initial Identification and Assessment of English Learners

Have you ever wondered how English learners are identified within the school system? When students are first enrolled in the school system, parents are given a home language survey that asks specific questions about the student's primary language, dominant language, and languages spoken by adults in the home. Based on the answers to the questions, students may be identified as an English learner and will be administered an assessment of their primary and second languages.

I've published a more detailed article over on Associated Content that outlines the process of initial identification and assessment of English learners. You can find the article here:
