Outcomes Related to Disparities in the Preschool Language Experiences of English Monolinguals and Dual Language Learners in Head Start

Description:

To that end, I propose three research questions to understand the language environment of DLLs as compared to EM peers, both across and within different types of classroom activities, and how the language experience is related to EM and DLLs’ academic achievement over a Head Start year. This study will investigate 100 linguistically diverse children in 20 Head Start classrooms. Comprehensive, child-level data of a typical preschool language experiences will be captured by innovative technology. Study findings will offer foundational information for designing professional development for teachers in Head Start and beyond who are working with linguistically diverse DLLs.
