A distinguishing feature of English learners (ELs) centers on coming from homes in which a language other than or in addition to English is used, but bilingualism itself is not a risk factor for low academic achievement.

This study examined the role of science domain knowledge, reading motivation, and decoding skills in reading comprehension achievement in third-grade students who are English learners (ELs) and students who are monolingual, using a nationally representative data set.

The authors report on their quasi-experimental field test of a languagebased reading intervention framed around language components, language functions, discussion, and reading comprehension.

Understanding the concept of the precision of language is important to understanding the alignment of English language proficiency standards and content standards.
