A large proportion of children entering school do not have sufficient English language skills to function adequately in English-only classrooms. These children, referred to as English Learners (ELs), are often assumed to be and treated as a linguistically homogeneous group despite an emerging body of literature that have alluded to systematic linguistic differences among ELs. This work aimed to develop an empirically derived typology of Spanish-English speaking ELs. We examined within-group variability in oral language skills in 865 Spanish-English ELs enrolled in Grades K-3 using latent profile analysis. Results indicated five distinct profiles of ELs. |
