How does writing capabilities compare between students with English Only background and students from non-English Only Background (English Learner, non-English speaking parents)?

Public project summary

The gap between the writing capabilities of native English speakers and English language learners is a serious problem. This research project will implement an online service that will help ELL students with their writing. The program will be free by way of volunteers ranging from high school, parents, and teachers. After reviewing the common core standards and the JLS writing handbook, volunteers will be able to receive calls or texts from students using the site, and take a request for help.
