Pity the poor learner who has to 'take on board' these awful<br>
initials/acronyms<br>
<br>
= EB? emergent? bilingual? What if they are already bilingual (in two<br>
non-English languages)<br>
<br>
and wish to 'develop their English' as an additional language... What's<br>
wrong with<br>
<br>
EAL (English as an additional language)? = it's been around a decade or so<br>
and<br>
<br>
no-one has noticed perhaps.<br>

Looking at second/other language learning,<br>
<br>
I've preferred English language development instead of ESL/EFL,<br>
<br>
and more generally "language development" though I have never had<br>
<br>
to use a professional title for myself.<br>

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

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

Hi Chelsea,<br>

How about ESL Educator?<br>
<br>
After all, education is what we all do and is holistic.<br>

Hello,<br>
<br>
My name is Chelsea Walter and I am the "ESL Specialist" at Colorado College.<br>
I am looking for input regarding my title, as I feel that it may be out of<br>
date with current terminology.<br>
<br>
A brief description of my work: I provide academic support to culturally and<br>
linguistically diverse (CLD) students via coursework and individual<br>
consultations, as well as consult with faculty on best practices (those that<br>
are particularly culturally responsive) for working with CLD students.<br>
<br>
Might any of you have an idea on a more holistic title? I feel that "ESL<br>
Specialist" conveys a remedial and deficient nature and does not encompass<br>
the CLD student and educational experience itself, but rather focuses on the<br>
"ESL" label.<br>
<br>
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!<br>

The Vigd?s Finnbogad?ttir Institute of Foreign Languages and the School of Education, University of Iceland are pleased to announce the third international conference on Early Language Learning 2018.<br>
In association with the AILA Research Network on Early Language Learning, we would like to invite you to experience the ?bright nights? of Reykjav?k and to explore and discuss issues surrounding multilingualism and young language learners. The conference will focus on early second and foreign language learning in preschool and primary education contexts across the globe. With this conference we hope to provide opportunities for colleagues from a range of professional backgrounds (e.g., researchers, teachers, policy makers) to establish links and expand the work in the fields of multilingualism, linguistic diversity and early language learning.<br>
We invite the submission of abstracts on any research- or practice-oriented topic relating to the learning of foreign, second or additional languages by learners of primary school age or younger (ages 3-12). Topics relating to younger or older learners (up to age 15) will also be considered.<br>
We welcome proposals for individual papers, colloquia and posters.<br>
Plenary speakers<br>
Roma Chumak-Horbatsch, Ryerson University in Toronto (Canada)<br>
Victoria Murphy, University of Oxford (UK)<br>
Francis Hult, Lund University (Sweden)<br>
Abstract submission deadline: December 1, 2017<br>
