English Language Learners and the Common Core: An Overview
Languages Spoken by ELLs
ОглавлениеWhile English language learners in the United States speak roughly 400 languages, the majority (approximately 80 %) are Spanish-speakers.10 In 2011, Latinos represented 24 % of public school enrollment and are projected to be 30 % by 2023.11
As of 2013, more than two-thirds of ELL students in 45 states and the District of Columbia spoke Spanish. In 19 states, including Texas and California, more than three-quarters of all ELL students spoke Spanish. Other states, like West Virginia, Minnesota, and Ohio among others, were less homogeneous and their ELL populations spoke a diverse set of languages such as Vietnamese, Chinese, Somali, Hmong, and Arabic.12
