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."
