Abstract
This quantitative study sought to learn if instructional mode (online, blended, traditional) had an impact on evidence-based reading and writing SAT scores for English Language Learners, as well as if WIDA (World-Class Instructional Design and Assessment) is a predictor of the evidence-based reading and writing SAT scores for ELL students. This study also compared ELLs against non-ELLs on the evidence-based reading and writing portion of the SAT and compared male and female ELLs. Data were collected for all ELLs that were juniors during the 2017–18 school year from the state of Michigan. Data were also collected from Michigan public schools that identified as blended or online learning. The data were received from the Michigan Education Research Institute. This research provides new science for ELLs that WIDA is a predictor for evidence-based reading and writing SAT scores, and no significance was found on mode of instruction for ELLs. It was determined that females test higher than males on the evidence-based reading and writing portion of the SAT. The implications of this new science are valuable to leaders, teachers, and families of ELLs.
