Two-way and monolingual English immersion in preschool education: An experimental comparison (2007, methodology): “A recent meta-analysis of 17 studies of K-12 program effectiveness with ELL students published since Willig’s (1985) early meta-analysis found no advantage for all-English instruction ( Rolstad, Mahoney, & Glass, 2005 ).”
