She spoke about many things important to second language learning, as well as the different types of language proficiencies (BICS vs CALP) and reinforced what I knew about many of the myths of second language learning. She also reminded me of aspects of second language learning as well as ways to include the parents and family. Excellent course!!

Excellent course! I would like to see monolingual principals, teachers and service coordinators learning these concepts. I'm a bilingual SLP and I constantly see bilingual students receiving monolingual services just because monolingual people don't understand bilingualism.

I thought the presenter was clearly passionate about the topic and presented the information in a clear, concise manner. It, at times, seemed to be rushed. The information was extremely applicable to my daily practice as in EI therapist working with an extremely diverse population. This course helped give me confidence that I have been providing families with accurate information regarding their child's acquisition of a second language.

The topic was relevant to clinical services for individuals who are dual language learners. The information was fascinating, research based and provocative in terms of assessment and treatment of dual language learners. The information will certainly enhance the considerations for these children in school settings who may or may not need special services.

I really liked that this course was taught by someone who is bilingual themselves and has experience with the process of learning a second language. I also felt like there was a lot of validity to what was said as far as bilingual assessment and how we can do a dynamic assessment rather than standardized testing on students who are ELLs.

The presenter described the challenges of DLLs and gave examples of normal processes of L2 and how these might be observed across home and school settings. I appreciated the presenter's recommendations for appropriate assessment tools, as using more informal assessment typically gives us better information about the skills and deficits a student has, versus how the student performed on a standardized assessment.
