EL Considerations• Over half of EL students were born in the United
States. But close to half of the EL’s in grades six through twelve are foreign born (Capps, et al. 2005; NCELA, 2007)• Currently…..it takes between four and seven
years on average for EL students to become proficient in academic English • EL students who attend high-poverty schools
tend to acquire English at a slower rate than other EL’s (Abedi & Dietel, 2004; Hakuta, et al. 2000; Jepsen & de Alth, 2005)
