skills. Activities should be designed to develop skills in higher
order thinking, vocabulary development, and cognitive

processing. Students in this stage need deliberate instruction on
reading and writing skills and frequent opportunities to practice

them.
It takes most learners at least two years to reach this
stage, and then up to 10 years to achieve full mastery of the

second language in all its complexities and nuances. Second
language learners need ongoing opportunities to engage in
discussions and express themselves in their new language, in

order to maintain fluency in it.
The key to learning a new language and developing

proficiency in speaking and writing that language is consistency
and practice. A student must converse with others in the new
language on a regular basis in order to grow their fluency and

confidence. In addition, Haynes says it‟s important for students
to continue to work with a classroom teacher on specific content

area related to the new language such as history, social studies
and writing.
