- Dual language learners: Children who are learning two (or more) languages at the same time, as well as those learning a second language while continuing to develop their first (or home) language (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2009). The use of this term promotes the value and importance of home language development.

- Monolingual: Describes individuals who speak only one language.
- Bilingual: Describes individuals who are fluent in two languages.
