Description:

The paper reveals that the number of English language learner (ELL) students in American classrooms continues to increase faster than the system can accommodate them. The paper provides tentative research questions and reviews the relevant literature on ELL students and the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). The paper highlights the limitations of the NCLB in helping ELL students in the present school system. The paper then suggests establishing a voucher system for schools so parents could choose the best school to meet their children's learning needs or allocating additional resources to help busy teachers provide the individualized level of attention ELL students need.
