Through the use of a literature review, a survey of four teachers, and an anonymous survey of sixty-two ELL fourth grade students in a fourth-grade class and two third-grade classes, the result findings revealed that one-on-one from teachers through collaboration, compassion, and student engagement found to be the most effective means to help ELL students to succeed academically.
