Title: Report: Mathematics Achievement of Language-Minority Students During the Elementary Years
Body: From http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2009036 This Issue Brief uses data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 1998-99 (ECLS-K) to examine the scores of public-school language-minority students on a mathematics assessment in 1st grade, as well as the gain in their scores between 1st and 5th grades. Scores are reported by three background characteristics--student’s race/ethnicity, poverty status, and mother’s education--that have been found to be related to achievement. The findings indicate that language-minority students (English Proficient students and English Language Learners) scored lower on a 1st-grade mathematics assessment than did students whose primary home language was English. Between 1st and 5th grades, there was no measurable difference in gain scores on the mathematics assessment among the three language groups. However, gain score differences within and between the language groups were found by student background characteristics. For example, Asian language-minority students made greater gains than their Hispanic peers. To download the report, go to http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2009036 .

Title: Article: Heritage Language Learners in the Classroom
Body: From http://nclrc.org/about_teaching/heritage_learners.html "Root Words: Facing Our Changing Demographics" By Belinda Sauret November/December 2008 Even a glance at a demographic map makes it clear that most foreign language teachers will likely teach in areas with a number of native speakers of the language. A report from the Pew Hispanic Center shows that one in five students in the public schools is Hispanic and that proportion is expected to grow through the next few decades. Naturally, the matter of what to do with heritage speakers is not limited to Spanish instruction: a page on the National Heritage Language Resource Center “Demographic Tools for Heritage Language Instructors” offers access to maps from the U.S. Census, the MLA Language Map and websites from state departments of education that show what languages other than English are spoken in various regions of the United States. Whether we teach French, Arabic or Chinese, we might well find ourselves grappling with different pedagogical needs than those of the L2 learners we were trained to work with. Read the entire article, which includes a list of needed tools and strategies for teaching heritage speakers and references to other support networks, at http://nclrc.org/about_teaching/heritage_learners.html .
