Most teachers aren't signing up to teach in Mexico or China unless they know how to speak with their fellow educators and their students. But English Language Learners (ELL) don't have the choices that teachers do. They have been moved in the U.S., knowing that they have to go to school, and they are pushed into a situation that can be very frightening. For these students a strong collaboration between the teacher-librarian, foreign language, and ELL teachers is necessary, not only to aid the students but also to assist their families at home. In this article, the authors discuss how school libraries can aid second language learners, experiences that the authors have personally had, and programs that they would like to see come to fruition in the future.
