Regular assessment of ELL progress in the student can result in content-based curricula that is at once accessible yet challenging to the student, improving performance on standards-based instructional measurements as well as increasing language proficiency (Laturnau 2002; SIOP 2009). In this way, ELL standards and assessment can actually be positively affected by standards-based instruction.
The various standards of both traditional academics and English Language Learning can, if used in conjunction with each other, promote motivation and lead to higher levels and rates of success. Students receiving proper content-based instruction that encourages the development of English skills but understands the standards that each ELL student should be held to can provide learning environments that allow these students to excel in standards-based assessments (SIOP 2009). Conversely, an attitude that elements of the different sets of standards are in unavoidable opposition to each other will yield no methods for improving education and ultimately fail the student in both educational goals...
Clearly, the better an instructor's understanding of the various standards and practices of regular academic instruction and of English Language Learning, the more effective that instructor will be at achieving a synthesis of these standards and practices and so promoting progress in ELL students.
Conclusion
Standards-based instruction still has some inefficiencies to be worked out, s will any educational system, or indeed any system at all. Yet current research shows that the implementation of standards-based instruction in traditional classrooms and in ELL settings can yield much higher academic achievement and fewer difficulties if implemented correctly. Mishandled, it is true that such practices can be cumbersome and inhibitive for both teachers and students. Properly understood, however, such standards become invaluable tools for ELL instructors.

The student jumps from one tense to another in the space of two sentences, revealing a discussion which is largely uncertain of its own chronology. Naturally, this makes the work a very unclear experience for the reader such as in the pair of sentences in the second paragraph, which declare that "A few days later 'This alarms the Crows.' Father Crows discussed the matter with the other animals that
First, Spanish sounds different from English in terms of vowel sounds, sentence stress, and timing. (Shoebottom, 2007, Spanish). In addition, Spanish speakers can confront grammar problems when learning English, "although Spanish is a much more heavily inflected language than English, there are many aspects of verb grammar that are similar. The major problem for the Spanish learner is that there is no one-to-one correspondence in the use of the
Because she knows that she is good in writing and improves consistently, Katya is encouraged to put a large amount of energy into writing. She has also attempted to submit some fiction to magazines, with somewhat limited success. Katya has shown some of her extracurricular articles and stories to teachers.

As such students at similar levels in both categories were grouped together to ensure optimal benefits for all participants. When evaluated on a practical level, it was found that communicating the benefits of the program to refugee communities was critical to success. Parents in these communities needed to understand that the program offers a pathway for their children towards success and employment, as well as an effective future in the
