English Language Learners:
“An active learner of the English language who may benefit from various types of language support programs… ELL students might face additional challenges such as acclimating to a new culture and status that interfere with learning English. Given this, instructors should use culturally relevant materials to build on students’ linguistic and cultural resources” and attend to students’ sense of belonging and efficacy. (Reference: National Council of Teachers of English)
