There is an increased English Language Learners (ELL) student population in Canadian schools. Research indicates that the teacher’s support is a crucial part in English Language Learner’s (ELL) success. It is important that ELL students be provided with enough resources so they can better learn the language. In order for ELL students to succeed, they need to be supported and guided by ELL teachers in all of their subjects. This research examines how ELL teachers in Canadian elementary schools identify effective ELL instruction. And it further explores the ways of promoting effective ELL instruction and the quality indicators of ELL instruction.
