Co-sponsored by Arizona State University, Council for Exceptional Children, and the National Association for Bilingual Education, the conference will present original, emergent scholarship on the differences between second language acquisition and learning disabilities. The impetus for the conference is the unprecedented growth of the English language learner population, the emergence of empirical evidence about the number of inappropriate referrals of ELLs to special education, the challenges associated with distinguishing between the characteristics of "normal" second language acquisition and learning disabilities, and the alarming dearth of research on these and related issues. What will the conference cover? Original research with English language learner populations focused on differentiating between second language acquisition and learning disabilities Analytical perspectives on ELL issues Synthesis of the research on English language learners Population, referral, assessment, and instructional issues |
