The placement of
English language learners in mainstream classes has become more
and more common in recent years. Many of these students have not
developed the necessary English language proficiency to keep up
with their classmates. "Even though language minority students
may take up to seven years to develop the level of language
proficiency necessary to compete on an equal footing with native
speakers of the school language, they are likely to be in
mainstream classes long before then" (Harklau, 1994). What can
mainstream teachers do to help English language learners in
their classes excel?
