I'm curious about why the term ELL and not considered correct.  I sit  
both in the camp of K-12 and adult literacy.  In K-12 the term has  
become the state used term, and I believe it's acceptably used in  
adult literacy as well.  I hope someone will  affirm or disaffirm the  
use of English Language Learner ifor both K-12 and adult literacy   
settings.
