"Research on students in kindergarten to grade 12 is analyzed to provide this review of scientific research on the learning outcomes of students with limited or no proficiency in English in U.S. schools. The primary chapters of the book focus on these students' acquisition of oral language skills in English, their development of literacy (reading & writing) skills in English, instructional issues in teaching literacy, and achievement in academic domains (i.e., mathematics, science, and reading). The book provides a unique set of summary tables that supply details about each study. Topically-organized synthesis of scientific research on English language learners in kindergarten to grade 12; Detailed and comprehensive descriptions of each study; In-depth analyses and discussion of implications of research findings on important aspects of English language learner outcomes in K-12."
