ELL LEARNERS


The United States experienced phenomenal growth in the number of English-language learners over the first decade of the 21st century, expanding the need in many public schools to provide special language instruction. This article explains all of this.
Achievement gaps between ELLs and non-ELL students are deeply rooted, pervasive, complex, and challenging for the National Education Association affiliates and members. The good news is that NEA is actively addressing the complex issues by engaging in research and advocacy and proposing strategies that we can pursue individually and collectively to help eliminate those gaps.
This website is actually a pdf that explains a whole boat load of facts and information on ell students. Some of the info included are statistics and key terms.
This website is a site that allows you to search for other sites in ell. It actually is very effective even though it doesn’t seem so.
Research a Topic pages are designed to guide you to the best resources on education-related topics and to put you in touch with fellow educators who share your interests. Each page contains a definition of the topic, a comprehensive list of ASCD material and professional development opportunities, and our picks for the best resources that exist beyond ASCD’s catalog.
