The State of Oregon honors the language and culture of its people and respects the over 166 languages in our schools, and recognizes that: 

  • Language is a key component of each person’s cultural identity, 
  • Heritage and primary languages are instrumental in student academic and cultural success, and 
  • Students who are multilingual/multicultural may have an advantage over students with a single language and are valued in career placements.

The purpose of the Language Use Survey is to help the school determine if your child qualifies for additional Title III supports in language instruction for English learners.  

An English Learner is defined as a student: 

  • Who was not born in the United States or whose native language is a language other than English 
  • Whose native language is a language other than English, and who comes from an environment where a language other than English is dominant 
  • Whose difficulties in speaking, reading, writing, or understanding the English language may impact the student’s ability to successfully achieve in classrooms where the language of instruction is English. 
    • — (ESEA Section 8101(20)
