Abstract
In this panel, 5 presentations address the issues related to Long-term ELs (LTELs) within the context of educational policies and instructional practices. Questioning the educational accountability, equity issues are examined with reference to language proficiency, disability, special needs, and opportunities after reclassification. Implications for educational policy and content and literacy instruction are provided. Besides the individual presentations, the panel is intended to cultivate a vibrant community and prompt a critical discussion on issues related to EL reclassification.
