The problem in language differences to communicate is not a hindrance. We believe that there is a space for the three of them, as they should not be regarded as exclusive, but as mutually enriching. We believe that English can provide learners, teachers and families a perspective on their own language that may foster tolerance and intercultural sensitivity. The challenge now is to reconceptualise strategies for educating young ELLs so that educators draw on their existing language skills in ways that are practical, effective and feasible – even in classrooms with ELLs who speak multiple heritage languages and even when teachers themselves are monolingual.
