It presents English Language Learners as a diverse group in their understanding of both L1 and L2. I appreciated the presentation of the group on a continuum because that is what I often see in everyday practice.

This course was a good refresher. I specifically liked reviewing the models of second language acquisition, learning about interference on L2 language structure and interlanguage (overgeneralization of L1), and learning that when L1 development is discontinued before it is cognitively mature, negative cognitive effects in L2 development may become apparent. This course is also full of good references such as the language experience classification. The questions posed at the end were also intriguing and there could be more offered in the practicality of evaluating children who are bilingual or monolingual non-native English speakers with suspected language impairment.

As a bilingual evaluator, it is so refreshing to hear the experience and advice from someone else in my shoes! It is so amazing to hear that you can be an effective evaluator and not be perfect in another language. I feel like I am hard on myself when I make mistakes in Spanish conversation because I assess in Spanish for my school district. I speak Spanish primarily at work (with patients and parents) and with my parents. I do not speak Spanish to my husband or with my children because through the years my English proficiency has surpassed my Spanish proficiency. Fe explained the bilingual acquisition levels beautifully. I feel more confident in discussing evaluation outcomes and eligibility determinations with other professionals and families after taking this course and all the information provided with BICS/CALP and proficiency levels.

I think our instructor did a great job. I liked the pace she was speaking at. It helped me to learn more things about bilingual language acquisition and when to look for the signs of a language deficit in both language. I have a grandson who is not speaking at this time. His Mother is speaking Spanish to him and English also. But he is not talking. I now can be patient with his age because he is 3 years old and I have now understood that we can give him up to the age of 4 and 5 years old to acquire both languages if possible. The only concern I have is that he has signs of Autism. But as a Professional Speech Pathologist I will be patient with his growth and learning in his bilingual home. Thanks for imparting your knowledge with me! I'm from Arizona too and I went to N.A.U. in Flagstaff for one year of college many years ago. I loved N.A.U.! Go Lumber Jacks!!!
