Title | Live Chat: Educating Long-Term English-Language Learners |
Body | From http://www.edweek.org/ew/events/chats/2009/09/10/index.html Educating Long-Term English-Language Learners Thursday, September 10, 2 p.m. Eastern time Many school districts are at a loss on how to best educate long-term English-language learners-students who have been enrolled in special programs to learn English for years but who have never tested as fluent in the language. Kate Menken, an assistant professor of linguistics at the City University of New York who wrote the book English Learners Left Behind: Standardized Testing as Language Policy, will answer questions about what she's learned during three years of researching long-term ELLs in New York City. The study also included an intervention in two high schools with long-term ELLs that is showing promising results.
