Abstract
The student population in the United States is becoming increasingly culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD). This demographic shift has created concerns as the research indicates that many teachers lack the understanding of second language acquisition and the importance of academic English proficiency. This paper considers levels of language proficiency and evidence based instructional strategies that are effective when teaching English language learners.
