Where the ELLs Are

For all you reporters and researchers out there who are tracking the immigration story or what's going on with English Language Learners under NCLB, there's a newly-enhanced language mapping tool over at the MLA site (via Inside Higher Ed) that will show you in easy visual terms the languages spoken in any part of the country -- down to the zip code. Three hundred languages, numbers or percentages, three different age brackets, data on English proficiency. Very nice.
