Increasingly, the academic achievement of English language Learners (ELLs) is affecting the academic achievement of American students as a whole Book: Forbidden Languages
"At a time when nativism and ugly anti-immigrant discourse is played out daily on talk radio and cable television, I took hope in reading these chapters, especially when it is clear that learning English is such a priority for these children and their parents. While I doubt that restrictionists will heed its findings, policymakers and educators should read this book carefully."
