Abstract: This article presents a variety of issues related to the effects of restrictive language and educational policies that ultimately limits important resources for English language learners (i.e., services, funding, time, and information). The authors spotlight the state of Arizona as an unfortunate case of language control through policies, which has the promise of being replicated in other areas of the United States. As these forms of control make their way into everyday classroom life, English language learner… Show more

“…Because the U.S. school system functions quite differently from those in other countries, immigrant parents' experiences with schools may likely need to be re‐adjusted and reshaped as they navigate the workings of the U.S. school system and understand the culture of teacher‐student interactions. Without proper resources and support for immigrant parents, it can be challenging to voice their concerns and thoughts about their children's education (Iddings et al, 2012). Also, the school personnel's empathy toward immigrant parents' apprehensiveness and complex lives is absolutely necessary for developing immigrant parents' trust.…”

“…Such institutional and societal structures leave little space for problematizing the English-focused culture of schools within an increasingly diverse community of students. Iddings, Combs, and Moll (2012) state, "ELLs are often denied the right to draw on their own social, cultural, and linguistic resources for learning and are thus left educationally stranded" (p. 507). Although research demonstrates that maintaining students' home 2 language is key to the development of additional languages (Cummins, 2005;Law, 2015), and multilingualism is a key component of education in many countries (Commission of the European Communities, 2008) yet, monolingualism is pervasive in U.S. education (Brown, 2011;Caldas, 2006;Law, 2015), and tied to political anti-immigrant ideologies (Borden, 2014;Estep, 2017), especially against Spanish-speaking communities.…”
