• Effective Instructional Strategies for English Language Learners in Mainstream Classrooms
  Effective Instructional Strategies for English Language Learners in Mainstream Classrooms by Susan Wallace Research on effective education for ELLs clearly indicates that instruction in a student's first language provides the most positive student outcomes (Thomas and Collier; see Bibliography, below.) However, this article is addressed to teachers and administrators in schools without bilingual or dual language programs.
