Abstract

English learners (ELs) are the fastest growing population of students in the United States and currently represent nearly 10% of public school enrollment; however, they also constitute less than 3% of gifted program enrollment in these schools. Although an increasing number of studies explore this underrepresentation, research that specifically examines the role of language proficiency in gifted identification is limited. This study explored the role of several factors on ELs’ time to reclassification (the point at which students are considered to have reached language proficiency and are no longer classified as ELs) and, in turn, being identified for gifted services. The findings suggested notable demographic and socioeconomic influences on the time to reclassification of ELs. Students who were reclassified earlier tended to be enrolled in schools with more gifted students and had a greater probability of being identified as gifted.

熟练程度与天赋:语言理解在天赋识别与成就中的作用

英语学习者是美国增长最快的学生群体，目前占公立学校招生人数的近10%；然而，他们在这些学校的天才项目入学人数中所占比例还不到3%。尽管越来越多的研究探讨了这种代表性不足的问题，但专门研究语言能力在天才识别中的作用的研究有限。这项研究探讨了几个因素对ELs重新分类的时间（即学生被认为已经达到语言水平并不再被归类为ELs的时间）以及反过来被认定为天才服务的时间的影响。研究结果表明，人口统计学和社会经济因素对ELs重新分类的时间有显著影响。较早被重新分类的学生往往就读于有更多天才学生的学校，被认定为天才的可能性更大。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
