Abstract
This project aims to address two main questions: 1) what is the most effective educational
setting for English Language Learners (ELLs)? and 2) How can schools ensure appropriate
placement for these students? ELLs face daily challenges in their personal lives, which should
not persist when they enter the school environment. Misplacement of students often occurs due
to insufficient funding resulting in limited resources, inadequate teacher training, and a lack of
cultural understanding from parents. If schools could better support their ELLs, they would be
better placed and have a higher chance of academic success. This project explores different
proficiency levels under which ELLs are categorized, the various academic settings used in U.S.
schools, and strategies for teachers to effectively place ELLs. Factors such as the students'
literacy skills in their native language and parental input will be considered in the placement
process. In this project, a professional development program is proposed to enhance teachers'
understanding of ELLs' accurate placement, encourage collaboration among educators, and
create a welcoming and engaging school environment for ELLs and their families.
