English Fluency Continues to Rise in CA - "Specialized
Instructional Materials" Cited as Factor
Results from the English Language Development Test indicated that
47% of California's 1.3 million limited-English students were fluent
in 2004, up 4% from the previous year. State education officials
attributed the increase to teachers who have been better trained
in new standards for limited English students and in the use of
specialized instructional materials, among other things.
"We're moving in the right direction," said state Supt.
of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell in an LA Times article. "These
results are a clear indication that our English learners are making
progress toward fluency."
