English Language Learner Programs at the Secondary Level in Relation to Student Performance: Findings from the Literature offers educators a comprehensive and clear-eyed look at the literature and recent research on secondary-level English Language Learner (ELL) programs. This publication provides policymakers with a research base that can guide their decisionmaking, improve their technical assistance and professional development efforts, and assist them in refining their ELL programs. While this publication is not a how-to guide for implementing ELL programs, and does not advocate a particular program model or approach, it does provide a thorough and even-handed synthesis of the research and literature that can help educators meet their goal of increasing the achievement of ELL students in secondary settings.
