A Study of the Play of Dual Language Learners in an English-Speaking Classroom

Learning how to interact with other children is an important life skill and a key objective of most early childhood programs. But what happens when a child arrives at preschool with limited English language skills? How do they learn to engage socially, and how can teachers support them? This video highlights findings from a qualitative study looking at the play of dual language learners in a predominantly English-speaking classroom. As part of my undergrad, I had to write a thesis. I chose to focus on dual language learners and how they interact with their peers. You may have seen previous posts I've shared about my thesis , but recently the center I worked with produced this video all about my study.

I saw so much growth in my students and myself after implementing this new system. What I Taught What makes a family: We defined a family as a group of people who love ...
