**By TAL 823 Students** **Spring, 2012** Welcome to the world of Bilingual and English Language Learner (ELL) Education! This resource was written by the students of TAL 823 Bilingual and Multicultural Education class. Its goal is to provide useful information to students, parents, teachers, counselors, administrators and others about policies, theories, practices and resources related to the education of ELLs. It is the result of many hours of work, where students first conducted internet research on bilingual education topics of interest. Students searched from the evolving large collection of bilingual education resource links also located on Wikispaces at http://bilingualed-resources.wikispaces.com/. Feel free to check out it out.

Students collaborated in small groups to write, develop, organize, and design each topic, listed on the left of this page. Each topic contains sections on Research, Issues, and Resources, which contains links, annotations, and visual images and videos. The last section in each topic discusses each group member's efforts to collaborate on the project.

As a work-in-progress, there may be minor inconsistencies, errors or links do not work. Please let me know if you want to give feedback. Feel free to distribute and share all or any part of this resource. We hope that you, the students, parents, and colleagues with whom you work will find this information useful. For additional explanations or questions, please contact me at nlemberg@liu.edu Thanks for all your hard work—this is evidence of much learning! LET’S CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE FOR ELLs!
