Fun Fact About

ELL
How many ELLs are there
in the U.S.?

In 2012-2013, there were

4.85 million ELLs in U.S.
schools, comprising
nearly 10% of students in
U.S. public schools (Ruiz
Soto, Hooker, and
Batalova, 2015). ELLs
are the fastest-growing
student population in the
country, growing 60% in
the last decade, as
compared with 7%
growth of the general
student population
(Grantmakers for

Education, 2013)

Where do ELLs live?

There are ELLs attending

schools in all 50 states.

Speak normally, keeping

pronunciation and speech
natural. Use complete, short
sentences. Be sure not to
overly slow down your
speech, exaggerate
pronunciation or increase
the volume.

Have conversations. Talk

about the books you read,
your hobbies, etc. Dont
worry if you do most of the
talking. ELL/ESL students
often understand much more
English than they are
comfortable speaking.

Try to use words in the

conversations and books
that the child will already be
familiar with, unknown words
could discourage the
student.

What is the
difference
between ELL
and ESL?
ESL stands for English
as a Second
Language, whereas
ELL stands for English
Language Learner.
Therefore, ESL is the
class and ELL is the
student in the class.
