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.

This study seeks to explain why English learners (ELs) lag behind their peers in academic achievement. ELs' limited access to more advanced courses may partly account for these differences.

The authors of this two-year case study investigated expert language/content instructional strategies in a high school science class composed of English learners (ELs) speaking different languages and at different stages of English acquisition.

The article describes research-based instructional practices to improve the reading comprehension and academic vocabulary of English Learners (ELs) in the secondary grades. Adolescent ELs who have difficulty with English proficiency most likely have difficulty with reading comprehension.

Can universal design for learning improve the engagement and outcomes of English learners (ELs)?

The need for providing rigorous content in science while also supporting the language learning of ELs in secondary schools is addressed in this article. It describes an inquiry-based science curriculum based on principles of second language acquisition and geospatial learning.

This brief delves into the Internationals model for teaching English learners (ELs). Unlike other approaches to teaching ELs, the Internationals are 4-year high schools exclusively for immigrant students.

This report seeks to answer two key questions about Colorado's emerging multilingual students. First, how quickly are these English learners (ELs) becoming proficient in English, and secondly, how well are ELs mastering grade-level academic content?

This book, published by TESOL Press, is part of a series devoted to translating conceptual and empirical research into practices. This book focuses on the middle school grades. It is divided into four sections: language arts, social studies, science, and mathematics.
