Guideline:

"English language and literacy development are complex processes, particularly for English language learners (ELLs). ELLs not only have to develop literacy skills in English, but must acquire content knowledge and content area literacy at the same time. The role of academic English is fundamental in connecting English language literacy and content area literacy skills." ELL students need support with all academic subjects as they develop their literacy skills and grasp the content.
