I. DEMOGRAPHICS (not on test)
The U.S. Census Bureau report in 2010 identified persons in our country who represent more than 207 different ancestral groups. More than 55 million people, or 20% of the population over 5 years of age, speak a language other than English at home (U.S. Census Bureau, 2011).
![Page 12: INTRODUCTION TO COMMUNICATION DISORDERS IN MULTICULTURAL POPULATIONS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062803/56649cc95503460f9499074d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
From the 1997-1998 school year to the 2008-2009 school year, the number of ELLs in U.S. schools increased by 51%, going from 3.5 million to 5.3 million nationwide.
By the year 2025, one in every four school-aged children will be an ELL.

II. CHALLENGES FOR OUR PROFESSION
1. Increasing numbers of ELLs in U.S. schools, but not enough bilingual, bicultural professionals to serve them
2. Socioeconomic differences that can impact learning.
3. Helping English Language Learners with language impairments achieve the demands of the Common Core State Standards
4. Keeping up with tech advances that can help these students learn faster and better

In just one week in my job in the public schools, I assessed students from these backgrounds:
African AmericanVietnameseChineseSpanishHindiPunjabiIbo

III. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONSIDEA 1997 and 2004 states that:
Testing procedures and materials must not be discriminatory
Assessment instruments must measure a student’s ability in the area tested, not English proficiency
It is critical to know what is normal in L1 for each student—difference vs. disorder

IV. DEVELOPING CULTURAL COMPETENCE
View all students as individuals; don’t stereotype!
Describe “cultural tendencies”
Look at cultural variables that influence behavior

1. Educational level2. Country of birth3. Length of residence4. Language(s) spoken5. Urban vs. rural background6. Gender7. Age8. Socioeconomic status9. Religious beliefs and their impact10. Peers, neighborhood11. Generational membership
V. VARIABLES INFLUENCING INDIV IDUAL BEHAVIOR

VI. INCREASING CULTURAL COMPETENCE
Visit students’ homesTeam up with members of the communityRead!!Be aware of your own values and beliefsAsk students to share with youLearn some basic vocabulary in other languagesAttend churches, festivals, gatherings of other cultures

Kohnert, 2013 (Language Disorders in Bilingual Children and Adults (2nd ed); Plural Publishing)
Conduct ethnographic interviews
The SLP asks broad, open-ended questions to find out more (e.g. “Tell me about how Filipinos view communication disorders.”)

In 2015, consider the impact of the economy (SES):
In 2000, 11.3% of Americans were living below the poverty line
By 2008, 13.2% were below the poverty line
Today, 15.4% of Americans do not have health insurance

Meta-analysis of research--widely varying achievement among children in American schools
When children enter school (kindergarten), achievement gaps are observable even before they start learning to read
![Page 23: INTRODUCTION TO COMMUNICATION DISORDERS IN MULTICULTURAL POPULATIONS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062803/56649cc95503460f9499074d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The most salient child characteristics that predict academic success are SES and race
Low-SES, non-White children tend to lag behind White, middle-SES children
We need to work hard to close this gap
![Page 24: INTRODUCTION TO COMMUNICATION DISORDERS IN MULTICULTURAL POPULATIONS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062803/56649cc95503460f9499074d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
According to Education Week:
Nationwide, only 12% of students with limited English scored “at or above proficient” in mathematics in 4th grade compared with 42% of students not classified as ELLs. The gap was much wider in 8th grade math, where 5% of ELLs were proficient or above proficient in math, compared with 35% of non-ELLs.
![Page 25: INTRODUCTION TO COMMUNICATION DISORDERS IN MULTICULTURAL POPULATIONS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062803/56649cc95503460f9499074d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
On a national reading test, in 8th grade, only 3% of ELLs scored at or above proficiency, compared with 34% of non-ELLs.

In this class, we will emphasize
Justice and equal opportunities for everyone, regardless of race, SES, or primary language
Leveling the playing field
