Early English Language Development Standards (E-ELD)- Module 1
0.5 CEU
Presenter: Carol Godfrey, M.Ed.
Dual language learner (DLL) is a term used to describe a young child who is learning two or more languages simultaneously. In this course, educators will learn ways to support preschool age children who are dual language learners as well as strategies to assist their families in supporting language development in both the child’s home language(s) and English. The course will include the following topics: dual language learners and their families, language development and standards, and implementation of the Early English Language Development Standards (E-ELD) in the early childhood environment. These standards were specifically developed to support the unique language needs of DLLs, ages 2.5-5.5 years of age, who are in the process of learning more than one language prior to Kindergarten entry. This is the first module of a three module series.
