[Edling] Edling Digest, Vol 11, Issue 73

Wed Nov 1 11:58:05 UTC 2017

 Ooh Ah ..ouch....Briefly replying to erm ? ' Bernard' ?Spolsky**  

why might your suggestion not do??

Well many reasons - mainly as follows:

1. we're not needing to designate the person  ('teacher' as in job ad);

2. we are needing to designate the category of learner and the specific
programme of English language offered

(not English as a Second Language,  nor English as a Foreign Language but
English as an Additional Language  (many learners already have two languages
or more)

    English as an Additional Language, hence EAL) is the least excluding,
the most inclusive. 

3.  + most obviously why not 'Bernard's suggestion:  'English teacher' is
meaningless in this context = not just ambiguous, but also ambiguous
because it can mean both the language and the person = English = native
identity (of teacher)

English = the language.

Ann Gavriel

with apologies to Margaret van Naerssen (original messager) for monopolising
or

taking this seriously - if I didn't no-one would perhaps, out of a low-key
'professionalism' or shyness, or even

a false sense of 'politeness' (also taught at some stage in my course:
'English as a vehicle for national culture')

Pity the poor learner who has to 'take on board' these awful
initials/acronyms

= EB?  emergent?  bilingual?  What if they are already bilingual (in two
non-English languages)

and wish to 'develop their English' as an additional language... What's
wrong with

EAL (English as an additional language)?  = it's been around a decade or so
and

no-one has noticed perhaps.

Looking at second/other language learning,

I've preferred English language development instead of ESL/EFL,

and more generally "language development" though I have never had

to use a professional title for myself.

Then in the bilingual education field we are moving toward "emergent
bilingual" (EB) as the term for the learners, and we are hearing more and
more English Language Development (ELD) in place of ESL or ESOL in many
states. It still varies lots though!

Current terminology has replaced ESL with "ESOL" for teachers of English to
Speakers of Other Languages-and terminology for the learners themselves, at
least in the US, has moved quickly from ESL students to English learners to
English as a new language learners. The term 'English as an additional
language learner' is perhaps the most accurate but a bit clunkier from the
acronym use perspective!

All the best,

Hi Chelsea,

How about ESL Educator?

After all, education is what we all do and is holistic.

Hello,

My name is Chelsea Walter and I am the "ESL Specialist" at Colorado College.
I am looking for input regarding my title, as I feel that it may be out of
date with current terminology.

A brief description of my work: I provide academic support to culturally and
linguistically diverse (CLD) students via coursework and individual
consultations, as well as consult with faculty on best practices (those that
are particularly culturally responsive) for working with CLD students.

Might any of you have an idea on a more holistic title? I feel that "ESL
Specialist" conveys a remedial and deficient nature and does not encompass
the CLD student and educational experience itself, but rather focuses on the
"ESL" label.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
