Becky Huang, The Ohio State University

Due to globalization and immigratio n trends, the number of children growing up learning more than one langu age has been growing rapidly around the world. These young multilingual learners may learn an additional language in a majority/societal languag e immersion context (e.g., learning English in the United States where E nglish is a societal language) or in a minority/foreign language instruc ted learning context (e.g., learning English in Taiwan or in Mexico wher e English is a foreign language). The increase in this population comes with the parallel need to study their second language (L2) production fo r a fundamental understanding of L2 development. Evaluation of L2 produc tion is also conducted to make education decisions, such as young learne rs’ eligibility to receive or exit L2 service programs, and/ or to meet the needs of stakeholders such as the government or parents.

In th is talk, I will focus on the 6-12 age group (i.e., Kindergarten to eleme ntary grades in the U.S. education system) because it’s a critical stage of development in language as well as cognitive and social-emotional do mains. I will first provide an overview of the two major categories of L 2 production methods in the literature: standardized norm-referenced ass essments and language sampling methods. I will then address the challeng es and considerations of evaluating young multilingual learners. I will end the talk with a discussion of the implications for education as well as future directions for L2 production methods.
