ELL Market Research Studies

Course Crafters specializes in the K-12 ELL field. Our company makes it a priority to keep current on ELL market developments and demographics and then to gather, analyze, and interpret these facts and figures to ensure the products, workshops and professional development we provide ahears to ELL best practices.

Our company led the way in the collection and analysis of ELL market data with the publication of The Course Crafters Guides to the English Language Learner (ELL) Market in 2003, a rich compendium of market statistics and information, including ELL enrollment figures, funding, materials expenditures, and much more. Course Crafters updated these guides in 2005, and we will continue to conduct ongoing research on ELLs, their needs, and market opportunities to ensure that we and our clients are always on the leading edge of this burgeoning and exciting market.

In addition to information on ELL materials teachers use and want to buy, the study estimates the current (2004-2005) school-year spending in grades K-12 on all ELL instructional materials.
