The findings suggest six pillars of effective ESL education: comprehensive programming; responsive funding allocation; cultural competence; networking, collaboration, and coordination; capacity-building and advocacy; and effective leadership. Also examined in this article are the notion of the educational entitlement of ESL learners and the roles of community, education, and government stakeholders in building effective ESL education.}, number={2}, journal={TESL Canada Journal}, author={Van Ngo, Hieu}, year={2007}, month={Jun.}, pages={1–22} }
