A Home Language Survey is a survey given to all students who enroll in a school system. It is one of the first screening processes to identify students as English Language Learners.
What questions are on the Home Language Survey?
Kentucky requires that, at a minimum, the following questions be included on the HLS:
- What is the language most frequently spoken at home?
- Which language did your child first learn when he/she first began to talk?
- What language does your child most frequently speak at home?
- What language do you most frequently speak to your child?
If the answer to any of these questions is a language other than English, the student is given an English proficiency test to determine if they qualify for English language development services.
