[Edling] [EXT] ESOL Students and Foreign Language Learning

[Curry, MJ via Edling]

No references to share but this is an absurd argument. When I was a student at elite private high schools, I took both French and Latin. If anything I believe there is research on the benefits of studying multiple FLs!

Subject: [EXT] [Edling] ESOL Students and Foreign Language Learning

Dear all,

I received an e-mail from one of my former students today who is now a P-12 ESOL specialist.  It fits in well with today's theme of English Language Day and how English is part of multilingual repertoires.

She is involved with a discussion in her school district where an argument is being made that students learning English as an additional language should not also enroll in modern language courses.  While I can think of much work published generally on additive language learning and multilingual education, I am wondering if anyone is aware of any specific scholarly work on English as a second language students in English dominant contexts and the benefits of their taking modern language courses in secondary and upper secondary school alongside English as additional language courses that I could share with her.

Best,
Francis
