Description:
NNELL believes that all elementary school students should have access to high quality, ongoing and systematic world language instruction. This belief is based on research that indicates:
* Young children are at an optimal time to learn other languages.
* Children in effective early second language programs show gains in standardized tests of basic skills, and derive additional cognitive and affective benefits.
* The integration of content and language learning occurs easily as does the development of positive attitudes towards people who speak other languages and represent other cultures when long sequences of language study are an integral part of early schooling.
* Early language learning results in improved literacy skills. Reading and writing processes are similar for first and second languages. Skills and strategies are transferable for first to second language and vice versa. Well-constructed elementary world languages curriculum will positively influence literacy skills in both first and second language learning.
* Improved second language learning capability for elementary students can best be obtained with uninterrupted, well-sequenced, long-term language instruction.
NNELL holds an annual meeting at the fall conference of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages and an annual Summer Institute for state and regional representatives at the National K-12 Foreign Language Resource Center at Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa.
