Some multilingual learners freeze when called on because of foreign language anxiety, not because they do not understand. @ASCD's Soyoung Lee explains why and what helps, including predictable routines like QSSSA.

NABE firmly and unequivocally opposes the proposed English-only mandate for Head Start.
English acquisition does not require English-only education. Children can develop strong English proficiency while continuing to learn, grow, and communicate in their home languages.
A child’s home language is not a barrier. It is an asset—deeply connected to family, culture, identity, learning, and development.
NABE is calling on all members, affiliates, educators, families, researchers, advocates, and community partners to submit public comments opposing this harmful proposal.
The public comment period closes October 6, 2026. Every comment matters, and every voice must be heard.

English proficiency matters—but English-only education is not the answer.
Bilingualism is an asset. Multilingualism is an asset. Our children are an asset.

ADVOCACY ALERT: A federal proposal aims to cut the entire $890M Title III program, which is critical for supporting Nevada's MLLs. Losing these funds would devastate legally-required services & programs. Our students' futures are not debatable.

Developing a complete picture of multilingual learners is more than knowing their English language proficiency.
Deeper development uncovers who multilingual learners are as humans and how their other languages and experiences interact with new language acquisition.
Each multilingual learner is uniquely made.
