Dual language learners are a diverse group of children and include all children in a household where someone speaks a language other than English.

In this course, you’ll learn more about the universal nature of language development, how to support language learning for all children, and how to specifically support dual language learners in your classroom.

- The Universal Nature of Language
- Supporting Language Development for All Children
- Growing Up Bilingual
- Maintaining the Home Language
- Supporting Literacy
