Which characteristic does not describe ELL students?

  1. They may have varying levels of English proficiency

  2. They all come from the same cultural background

  3. They may be fluent in their first language

  4. They require support adapting to English language learning

The correct answer is: They all come from the same cultural background

The characteristic that does not describe ELL (English Language Learner) students is that they all come from the same cultural background. ELL students come from diverse cultural, linguistic, and educational backgrounds. This diversity means that they may have different experiences, beliefs, and practices that influence their learning. Variability in cultural background affects how students engage with learning materials and interact with peers and educators. The other characteristics highlight important aspects of ELL students, such as their varying levels of English proficiency, potential fluency in their first language, and the need for support as they adapt to learning in English, all of which reflect the complexity of their educational needs.
