Course Crafters specializes in materials for English Language Learners (ELLs) and their teachers. We are the authors of two recently-published programs for ELLs:

 The Academic Language Notebooks: The Language of Math

The Academic Language Notebooks (ALN) is Course Crafters' new supplementary program designed to help English language learners in grades 3, 4, and 5 learn the academic language they need to be successful in mathematics.

 Online ELL Reference Center authored by Course Crafters for Library Market!

Course Crafters is the author of a new online ELL Reference Center for secondary and adult English Language Learners, published by library market leader EBSCO Publishing in late 2009. An easy-to-read, trustworthy web resource for ELLs, The ELL Reference Center contains 1,000 articles on science, social studies, literature, and lifeskills, written especially for ELLs. Each article is linked to other background-building and resource materials on the same topic. For more information, click here.

Course Crafters is also the author and publisher of our own ELL market research reports, including the 2011-2012 update of the Course Crafters Guides to the ELL Market, the most comprehensive and practical research available on the U.S. K-12 ELL market. We also have recently published The Best of the ELL Outlook, a great new resource for educators and educational publishers. This title joins the other select ELL Professional Development titles that Course Crafters is now distributing.
