This April, join the Office of English Language Acquisition (OELA) as we recognize National Bilingual/Multilingual Learner Advocacy Month. As the populations of bilingual and multilingual learners (MLLs) continue to grow, we want to celebrate their accomplishments, affirm the assets that they bring to the educational environment, and advocate for the resources they need to succeed in school and life.
Explore the resources below on multilingualism, bilingual education, newcomers, and sources for finding student data. We've also created a social media toolkit that you can use to share resources from OELA, the U.S. Department of Education, and other organizations in the field.
