As schools focus on preparing students to be college and career ready, the achievement of English learners is a critical issue. It is widely acknowledged that English as a second language programs alone cannot adequately serve the large and growing numbers of English learners in U.S. schools (Brisk, 2010).
These students also benefit from content area teachers using strategies and techniques that make subject matter understandable while at the same time developing students’ English language proficiency.
This dual approach (i.e., content teaching that incorporates language development, typically referred to as sheltered instruction) and how best to implement it have been the research focus of the Center for Research on the Educational Achievement and Teaching of English Language Learners (CREATE). Sheltered instruction is becoming a more common approach in schools as the number of English learners in U.S. schools increases.

This article briefly mentions, but features in its thumbnail, Duolingo, a free mobile app many people use to learn languages. I personally have been using Duolingo and love it! It is probably one of the best free, digital tools I have ever come across. I initially used it at first only to brush up on my Spanish, besides by just listening to rock en español. Duolingo allows for not only writing practice, but speaking and translation practice and has recently updated to add bots where you can actually have a conversation in the language with a bot. I am now using Duolingo to teach myself three other languages, German, French, and their recently-added Japanese, which works wonders. Within almost a week I went from knowing absolutely no German to being able to construct basic sentences in my head. Duolingo is a great digital tool and I really do not understand why it is not utilized more.

In the past three years, co-creating projects of this caliber with Nathan, Rosana and other amazing educators; as well as working with ELLs with whom I started building strong bonds; nurtured the seed that was planted in the writing class. We were unknowingly becoming part of our ELLs’ stories of finding their identity and voices in English. The opportunities they were having to connect with the language were having a direct impact on them not just as learners but as human beings. ELL Stories were being lived and experienced right before us, waiting to be told. Via Nik Peachey

According to The Knowledge Loom, English language learners refer to students who have a first (home, primary or native) language other than English and are in the process of learning English. The article states there are at least three factors that can affect the amount of time it takes for a student to attain cognitive and academic sufficiency in English: > Age > Immersion in English > Similarity to English Via Kathleen McClaskey

Educational policies that impact second language (L2) learners—a rapidly growing group—are often enacted without consulting relevant research. This review synthesized research regarding optimal conditions for L2 acquisition, facilitative L2 learner and teacher characteristics, and speed of L2 acquisition, from four bodies of work—foreign language education, child language research, sociocultural studies, and psycholinguistics—often overlooked by educators.

Many states have begun the process of developing or adapting English Language Proficiency(ELP) standards to align with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and the forthcoming NextGeneration Science Standards (NGSS).
This need stems not only from a desire to ensure that all students receive the rigorous and systematic education they need to graduate from high school ascollege and career ready, but also because states must have ELP standards aligned to college and career readiness standards as a requirement to receive an Elementary and Secondary Education Act(ESEA) waiver.
The Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) has coordinated the development of a framework to assist states with this work. The goal of the English Language Proficiency Development (ELPD) Framework, hereafter referred to as the "Framework," is to provide guidance to states on how to use the expectations of the CCSS and NGSS as tools for the creation and evaluation of ELP standards.
