This document discusses supporting bilingualism in elementary ESL students. It addresses common myths about bilingualism, noting that learning two languages does not cause delays and total English immersion is not best. Research shows students who receive instruction in their home language from ages 3-8 outperform those in English-only programs later on. The document recommends supporting home languages by reading to children in their native language, using translation apps, encouraging parents to speak their home language at home, and maintaining connections to family abroad.
