Preferred term

position of English teachers on official English legislation  

Definition

  • Given the evident interest on the part of many to preserve English as the common language in the United States, one might be curious about the position of English teachers concerning “official English” initiatives. This entry examines relevant documents of the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE), the Center for Applied Linguistics (CAL), the National Association for Foreign Student Affairs (NAFSA, now known as the National Association of International Educators), the Modern Language Association (MLA), and the Speech Communication Association of America (SAA, now known as the National Communication Association, or NCA).
