The appropriate evaluation of English Language Learning (ELL) students who have potential language-learning difficulties is a dilemma faced by more and more speech-language pathologists. This program demonstrates practical techniques used to differentiate between language difference and disorder in ELL children aged 5–18.

Learning Outcomes
You will be able to:

  • identify aspects of typical second language acquisition in ELL students
  • describe types of language proficiency that characterize ELL students
  • define a language-learning disorder in an ELL student
  • critique aspects of formal, standardized tests that make them inappropriate for use with most ELL students
  • explain basic elements of federal regulations that govern the assessment of ELL students
  • identify practical strategies and resources for informal, nonstandardized assessment of ELL students
  • explain how to best utilize the services of interpreters in the assessment process
