Major court cases pertaining to ELLS
Lau. Vs. Nicholas
In this case, the court ruled that a district school violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Act was violated because the school denied the Chinese students to participate in class like other students. The school should have incorporated programs that used both English and Chinese to enhance the international students' experiences in class. The court ruled that the provision of textbooks, teachers, and desks was not enough to teach students who did not know English.
Flores vs. Arizona
In 1992, parents who felt that schools did not provide English language learners with enough learning services to facilitate the learning process filed a case.
