 “ELLs who are literate in a first language that shares
cognates with English can apply first-language
vocabulary knowledge when reading in English;
likewise ELLs with high levels of schooling can often
bring to bear conceptual knowledge developed in
their first language when reading in English.
…However, ELLs with limited or interrupted
schooling will need to acquire background
knowledge prerequisite to educational tasks at
hand.”

"In most classrooms, teachers do the talking and students do
the listening. Students just don't get a lot of opportunities to
express what they know,…Language is kind of like a spiral;
even if you're proficient in a language the more you use it and
the more you use it to articulate complex subject matter, the
deeper your understanding is going to get of that subject
matter.“
Kenji Hakuta, Professor of Education,
Stanford University
