Abstract:
English learners (ELs) entering the U.S. educational system form a
heterogeneous group, with different patterns of home language use, different
instructional programs, and different socio-economic background. The present
study explores the impact of these environmental factors on the development of
narrative skills in Spanish-speaking ELs. Three independent studies are
reported, focusing on ELs’ use of referring expressions, evaluative
expressions, and relative clauses in the English oral narratives. While the
results did not provide direct evidence for “the astounding effectiveness”
(Collier & Thomas, 2004) of bilingual immersion program in aspects of the ELs’
narrative production, results suggested that this might have resulted from the
modulating roles of family socioeconomic status and home language use. Indeed,
socioeconomic status was found to play a more important role in predicting
individual differences in adequately managing references and using richer
evaluative devices in oral narratives than other environmental factors. The
study contributes to the field by highlighting the need to examine the
interactions of environmental factors to maximize ELs’ language and literacy
outcomes.
