Abstract
In recent years, the number of English Language Learners (ELLs) in the public school system of
the United States has been rising. Within my capstone project I will be addressing how
incorporating ELLs’ L1 promotes second language (L2) and content learning in elementary
school. This is a prevalent issue due to the fact that teachers are unsure of how to incorporate
students’ native languages into classroom curriculum. Literature on this issue discusses how
Translanguaging, multiple languages in the classroom, and culturally responsive instruction all
incorporate ELLs L1 usage to promote L2 development. To mitigate this issue, I have created a
professional development course. The PD within this capstone is created to help teachers
understand and implement multilingual strategies into their classrooms. Implications for further
research curated from this capstone project include finding what strategies are the most effective
when incorporating ELLs L1s in the classroom.
