New to English

  New to English

Students learning English, labeled as English Language Learners by education
officials, are among the nation’s fastest-growing group of students. In
recent years these students have flooded small towns and suburban school
districts in states like Arkansas, Georgia and North Carolina, which have
little experience with immigrants.
