Patricia Kuhl shares astonishing findings about how babies learn one language over another -- by listening to the humans around them and "taking statistics" on the sounds they need to know. Clever lab experiments (and brain scans) show how 6-month-old babies use sophisticated reasoning to understand their world.

The only barrier to learning a language is memory. The process of language learning is the process of forming memories. Nothing more, nothing less. If you understand that, and you understand how memories are formed, then you can make progress in a way you've never dreamed possible before.

Why We Struggle Learning Languages | Gabriel Wyner | TEDxNewBedford

Californians Together and funded by The California Community Foundation, presents the results of data from 40 school districts and over 175,00 secondary English learners highlighting the urgent need to address the language and academic needs of Long Term English Learners (LTELs).

Reparable Harm highlights the "sad" reality that many students entering Kindergarten are labeled as ELs do not move away from the EL status in the right amount of time given the amount of support they received.

No accountability of schools document how many years students were designated as ELS and how effective was the schools’ support

As lifelong learners, who and by what measures define true language literacy?

There was a growing concern that fewer and fewer indigenous people were fluent in their native language.

Over the years, the children of fluent speakers were only learning and speaking English. Teachers in the program were not using it in the classroom because they weren’t fluent speakers themselves and that’s where children were spending most of their day.

In fact, the most recent Program Information Report data shows that less than 3 percent of Head Start children in tribal programs nationwide spoke their native language.

In this program’s efforts to revitalize their tribal language, the committee reviewed current research on language revitalization and preservation, as well as literature on teaching children who have dual languages.

They learned that approximately half of the 7,000 languages spoken in the world today are expected to lose their last speaker by the end of this century.
