Abstract
Supporting English language learners (ELL) with special needs is critical due to the increased number of ELL students in the United States. The National Education Association (2020) predicted that by 2025, one in four students in general education classrooms will be second language learners. Educators can significantly impact the education of ELLs by implementing proven teaching strategies. Strategies such as co-teaching (Friend and Reising, 1993), teaching through a cultural lens (Garcia and Tyler, 2010), and vocabulary (Alshahrani, 2019) are critical. This paper discusses effective teaching strategies targeting special education students concurrently learning English while considering legal mandates requiring education in the least restrictive environment.
