Dr. Ra\u00fal Rojas<\/strong>, assistant professor at the Callier Center for Communication Disorders and UT Dallas\u2019 School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences, has contributed an article to the journal\u00a0Child Development<\/em>, which examines the language growth of children who speak Spanish and are learning English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rojas co-authored the study with Dr. Aquiles Iglesias of Temple University. The researchers determined the shape of English language learners\u2019 language growth patterns across 12,248 oral narrative language samples – 6,516 Spanish and 5,732 English. The samples were produced by 1,723 English language learners during the first three years of their formal schooling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Results indicated distinct trajectories of language growth over time for each language, affected at different rates by summer vacation and gender. Rojas and his team also found significant intra- and interindividual differences in initial status and growth rates across both languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The research findings advance understanding of bilingual language growth and the varying trajectories for different language-learning groups. The study also provides a foundation for supporting the development of theoretical frameworks of bilingualism and the identification of possible language learner subgroups with different growth trajectories, Rojas wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
