[Edling] "ESL" Job Title- Please Critique!

[Deborah Palmer]

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 I am looking for input regarding my title, as I feel that it may be out of date with current terminology.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!
