  • Because there's not a plethora of digital curricula designed exclusively for English-language learners, teachers often rely on digital curricula used for all students that help individualize lessons, as well as software programs tailored for English language learners,
  • researchers created multimedia folktales and informational texts that included clickable words with definitions in English or Spanish, along with images for students whose English proficiency was very low. The text contained built-in audio, so that students could hear it in English or in Spanish, as well as embedded activities for reflection in both languages.

  • Very few digital products are backed by research proving they work, and that's important to educators,
  • That can be a problem with digital curricula not targeted for ELLs, Mr. Proctor said. "Most interventions like that exclude very limited-proficient-English students because they don't speak enough English to use them,"
  • Professional development to prepare educators to use digital curricula for English-learners is critically important, too.
