    Students who speak multiple languages can draw on all of their languages to communicate effectively. The term "translanguaging" recognizes that people with diverse language backgrounds may blend aspects of different languages, rather than needing to demonstrate perfect fluency in each one separately. It can take English language learners several years to develop the academic language proficiency to understand and discuss academic concepts at the same level as fluent English speakers. Vocabulary is often categorized into three tiers - tier one contains everyday words, tier two contains more general academic words, and tier three contains technical terms from specific content areas.
