English Language Learners
English Language Learners (ELL) refers to individuals who are in the process of acquiring English as a second language, while simultaneously engaging with educational content typically taught in English. These learners often require specialized instruction and support to develop their English proficiency and meet academic expectations across subject areas. ELL education intersects with general education, special education, and English education, recognizing the unique linguistic and cultural backgrounds of these students and striving to provide equitable learning opportunities in inclusive settings. The goal is to foster bilingualism or multilingualism, promote academic achievement, and develop cultural competence for ELL students, ultimately empowering them as global citizens.
