Report Finds Long Term ELLs Languishing in California Schools May 2010

March 7, 2010 by Claudia Vizcarra

“Report Finds Long-Term ELLs Languishing in Calif. Schools,” May 27, 2010.

A portrait of long-term English-language learners in 40 California school districts shows that the specific needs of such students are largely being ignored, a statewide coalition of education and civil rights groups contends in a new report.

Based on survey data, the studyRequires Adobe Acrobat Reader by Californians Together found that 59 percent of English-language learners in secondary schools in the districts had been in U.S. schools for more than six years without reaching a sufficient level of English proficiency to be reclassified as fluent. It also found that few school districts had programs or formal approaches designed especially for the long-term English-language learners.
