They face unique challenges in the classroom, but there are proven programs and techniques that can boost their achievement and help them reach the same benchmarks as their native English-speaking peers. Here you will find the latest reports and research-based recommendations on reaching, teaching, and assessing ELLs. Many reports also address areas where more research is needed. This section may be especially useful for researchers, graduate students, policymakers, curriculum developers, and school administrators.
