Research potential issues related to the identification, classification, and placement of ELL/bilingual learners into language support programs. Focus your research on English language support (e.g., ESL, ELD, SEI) or bilingual language support, not just issues related to the intersection of ELL/bilingual learners and other services (e.g., gifted and talented education, special education). Why might a student who could benefit from language support services, not qualify? Or how might a student be placed in language support services inappropriately? What is the role of assessments in these situations? Cite at least one scholarly resource supporting your response.
