pull-out ESL instruction
definition: The term pull-out ESL instruction refers to the common practice, used mainly in elementary schools, in which English language learners (ELLs) are placed in mainstream classrooms but are also “pulled out” of those classrooms for part of the day to receive English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction from a specially trained ESL teacher. Under federal law (e.g., Lau v. Nichols, 1974, and the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001), schools must ensure that ELL students learn both English and core academic content (e.g., math, science, social studies) simultaneously.
