English is considered as the most important language all over the world. It is an international language and several types of English speaking people are living around the world. Sometimes it is referred to as accents and is spoken by people in every real life situations. English language is divided in to two types namely American English and British English. The usage of English is entirely different among the people, not only in pronunciation but also in sentence structure, slang and vocabulary. This review article is based on the importance of English language in day today life. It also details an overview of English Language Learners (ELLs) in all parts of the world. This analysis also describes the challenges faced by a large number of ELLs. They go to foreign country for studies or jobs and stay there for more than six years, yet they are not developing their English language proficiency. A large number of people are still struggling without having proper English knowledge which is essential for academic and professional success. Hence, these ELLs require additional time, aligned assessments and appropriate instructional support for their higher growth and to obtain both content area knowledge and English language proficiency.

The number of English Language Learners (ELLs) has been growing worldwide. ELLs are at risk for reading disabilities due to dual difficulties with linguistic and cultural factors. This raises the need for finding practical and efficient reading interventions for ELLs to improve their literacy development and English reading skills. The purpose of this study is to examine the evidence-based reading interventions for English Language Learners to identify the components that create the most effective and efficient interventions. This article reviewed literature published between January 2008 and March 2018 that examined the effectiveness of reading interventions for ELLs. We analyzed the effect sizes of reading intervention programs for ELLs and explored the variables that affect reading interventions using a multilevel meta-analysis. We examined moderator variables such as student-related variables (grades, exceptionality, SES), measurement-related variables (standardization, reliability), intervention-related variables (contents of interventions, intervention types), and implementation-related variables (instructor, group size). The results showed medium effect sizes for interventions targeting basic reading skills for ELLs. Medium-size group interventions and strategy-embedded interventions were more important for ELLs who were at risk for reading disabilities. These findings suggested that we should consider the reading problems of ELLs and apply the Tier 2 approach for ELLs with reading problems.
