Taking into account speech, language, and culture, we aim to provide educators with a solid framework and information about many languages to support their understanding of speech and language development in English Language Learners. We explore Spanish, Russian, Vietnamese, and other languages to help SLPs support English Language Learners. Both linguistic and cultural knowledge are critical when working with families and children from different language backgrounds (Goldstein, 2012). Our goal in exploring the most commonly spoken languages in the United States is to enhance our understanding of patterns common to English language learners with different native languages. Our framework for analyzing errors provides parents, teachers, and other educators with the process they need to determine whether language production errors are indicative of language impairment or are the result of the normal process of language acquisition with more than one language. It is a very simple framework—if sounds/structures exist in both languages, they should not be affected in second language production. If sounds/structures do not exist in both languages, we expect transfer of skills or features from one language to another.
