Taking into account speech language development and culture, we aim to provide educators with a solid framework to support your understanding of speech and language patterns in English Language Learners. By understanding the basic structures and typical developmental trajectory of a language, you can better identify which errors are due to language influence, versus those that indicate a true impairment.
We explore Spanish, Russian, Vietnamese, and other languages to help SLPs support English Language Learners.
