Preferred term

English or content instruction  

Definition

  • Among earlier generations of immigrants, especially adults, it was not uncommon for English language learners (ELLs) to study and learn English first and subsequently learn other subjects and skills in English. Persons unfamiliar with the status of current language policy in the United States often ask why schools do not employ an intensive English immersion program that takes up the students' entire day until they master the language.
