A program model in which English language learners are placed in all mainstream classes with their non-ELL counterparts. This model works on the assumption that when these students are immersed in English they will gain academic proficiency in English. In the best implementation of this model, an ESL trained teacher would serve as the classroom teacher, providing sheltered instruction to ELLs (see sheltered instruction).Teaching Adolescent English Language Learners by Nancy Cloud, Judah Lakin, Erin Leininger, Laura Maxwell
