Mod 2 Discussion: What the Research Means to Me

Describe what the research on ELL Outcomes mean to you. Here are the implications of the ELL research outcomes:

1) in addition to permitting a longer period of engagement with “first language” content instruction, schools must also insure that ELLs are able to enroll in other classes as well as their “bilingual immersion” classes. 

2) teachers are properly prepared to teach ELLs within mainstream classes.

3) English language instruction is embedded in content area classes.

4) districts need to be be less concerned with how long students have been classified as ELL and more focused on making sure students take English-language content courses which allow for interaction with native English speaking students, and are taught by teachers properly prepared to provide the necessary support.
