Skinner, Cathleen
- Abstract
The article discusses the concept of place and location in delineating the environment and placement of English Language Learner (ELL) children studying in the U.S. schools. It reports that ELL students after passing the eighth-grade reading test become eligible for driving licenses. It refers to societal biases based on emotional and relational aspects of place in case of location of educational services being made available to students with no English-speaking skills. It mentions a survey by National Education Association revealing that between 1990 and 2001, US ELL enrollment grew by 105 percent with states such as Georgia, Mississippi and Montana being the frontrunners.
