NCEO - ELLs with Disabilities Report 13 - Online Survey on Instructional Strategies for English Language Learners with Disabilities

2010

A report explaining a study conducted to verify consensus on the importance and use of certain strategies and practices when instructing English language learners (ELLs) with disabilities across grade levels. Despite limitations in the number and breadth of representation of educators, the nationwide study found a pattern of higher-rated and lower-rated strategies in common across educators and grade levels served. The findings may have implications for delivering grade-level standards-based instruction for ELLs with disabilities in general education settings. The study considered many factors that influence instruction, including teaching setting, educators' experience and background, students' age and proficiency levels. These data may inform the field of reading instruction about effective instructional techniques, but further research is needed to select appropriate instructional strategies for ELLs with disabilities and to investigate the implementation and effects of strategies for these students.
