= Stages of Language Acquisition  =

===**We have talked much in our department sessions about reading and writing. However, we felt it may be helpful to provide an example of what a student sounds like at each stage of language acquisition. Notice differences in fluency(speaking effortlessly and flawlessly, in rhythm) from student to student. It should be noted that some ELL students and adults may never reach full native pronunciation(Torgesen, 1998).**===
