Compared to ESL, ELL tends to be more of a lifelong endeavor. ELL students may take several English classes throughout their lives, whereas ESL programs tend to be short-term and focused on making a student proficient in the language.

ACCESS for ELLs is a secure large-scale English language proficiency assessment administered to Kindergarten through 12th grade students who have been identified as English language learners (ELLs). It is given annually in WIDA Consortium member states to monitor students' progress in acquiring academic English.
