Factors in learning second language and culture.
Abstract
The focus of this study was to identify factors which enhance or complicate second language learners' acculturation and language acquisition processes. The researchers conducted structured interviews at a southern California high school with a diverse population of English Language Learners. The students' experiences of making linguistic and cultural transitions revealed some common patterns as well as individual needs. The language proficiency profiles varied considerably, suggesting that educators must have a firm grasp of language development pedagogy to address their English learners' needs.
