In this article, I examine the implications of additive and subtractive conceptions for the education of English language learner (ELL) students.

California's Proposition 227 (1998) has affected the education of many English language learners (ELLs).

The present qualitative study looked specifically at the…

Mora, Jill Kerper; Wink, Joan; Wink, Dawn – Bilingual Research Journal, 2001

Gandara, Patricia – Bilingual Research Journal, 2000
Numerous simultaneous educational reforms and limited data prevent drawing conclusions about the independent effects of California's Proposition 227, a 2-year-old English Only initiative. Achievement scores show little benefit for English learners. Observational data indicate that implementation of high stakes testing has encouraged teaching that…

Butler, Yuko Goto; Orr, Jennifer Evelyn; Bousquet Gutierrez, Michele; Hakuta, Kenji – Bilingual Research Journal, 2000
An analysis of SAT-9 scores since passage of Proposition 227 indicates that scores increased for all students, not just for English-learning students; scores increased for most districts regardless of the programs implemented; it was not possible to isolate the impact of Proposition 227; and SAT-9 is not an appropriate measure for assessing…
