English Language Learners: Policies & Practices in the Middle Grades
A special theme issue of the Middle Grades Research Journal will include manuscripts that examine educational issues related to young adolescents in English language learner (ELL) programs.

According to the 2000 Census, nearly 18% of the United States population spoke a language other than English in the home. Projections include an increase to 40% by 2030. This MGRJ issue is intended to share empirical research findings and to present theoretical frameworks relative to the policies and practices associated with ELL students in middle- level schools.

Manuscripts must be submitted by April 30, 2008, to be considered for this issue. Authors should include the following:

— Abstract of no more than 250 words
— Manuscript formatted according to APA, 5th Ed.; 20-30 pages in length
— Cover page with authors’ affiliation and contact information; no identifying author information on other pages of the manuscript (for blind review)
Please send an electronic copy in Microsoft Word format as an e-mail attachment to:
