Lexia English is a blended learning program designed to improve the academic English language skills of EBs by emphasizing explicit language instruction and oral language practice. An increasing body of research shows that the development of oral language skills plays a crucial role in the acquisition of broader literacy skills ( NASEM, 2017), and it remains to be seen how a blended learning tool such as Lexia English impacts both language and literacy outcomes for EBs.  \n3 Districts  \n39 Schools  \n1,570 Students Grades 1-5  \nIn a previous study of EBs from one school district in California, use of Lexia English was associated with higher English language proficiency scores compared to students not using the program ( Feroce, Liu, & Chattergoon, 2022). We build on this prior research by examining a larger group of students in California, and specifically looking at both English language proficiency and language arts outcomes while also accounting for students’ prior year achievement. Furthermore, we also collected data from educators to begin to better understand program implementation at the district level. By using a more robust research design, the current study adds to the growing evidence base demonstrating the effectiveness of Lexia English for EBs. This study provides Moderate evidence of effectiveness, according to the federal guidelines provided by Evidence for ESSA.  \nCalifornia Statewide Efficacy Study  \n1  \nStudy Design  \nWe first examined English language proficiency outcomes based on scores from the 2022 English Language Proficiency Assessment for California (ELPAC) . ELPAC scores consist of an overall score as well as oral and written subdomain scores. Data come from 1452 students in grades 1-5 (grade 1: 17%, grade 2: 19%, grade 3: 19%, grade 4: 24%, grade 5: 21%) across three California school districts (district A: 35%, district B: 40%, district C: 25%) .1 Students were considered Lexia English users if they had completed at least 1 unit in the online program (n = 732). Lexia English users and non-users were closely matched on pre-test scores (2021 Overall ELPAC) as well as district, gender, race/ethnicity, and home-language.2 In addition to Lexia English, all districts were using various literacy programs with EBs, including Lexia Core5® Reading (Core5). Students who used Lexia English had similar usage of Core5 (total program minutes) as students who did not use Lexia English (β = 67. 260, SE = 53. 226, p = 0.207). Thus, any potential group differences in learning outcomes are not likely due to differences in student use of Core5. Student demographic data is provided in the table below.  \nStudent Characteristics  \n\n|  | ELPAC Subgroup |  |  | SBAC Subgroup |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  | LE | Non-LE | Total | LE | Non-L","cbCaicDXgFA6q88X","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicDXgFA6q88X","pdf",261612,"English","# Key Findings\n# Introduction\n# California Statewide Efficacy Study\n## Study Design\n## Student Characteristics\n## English Language Arts Outcomes","[{\"question\":\"What does the Lexia English program aim to improve for emergent bilingual students?\",\"answer\":\"It targets academic English language skills by emphasizing explicit language instruction and oral language practice, supporting both language proficiency and broader literacy development.\"},{\"question\":\"How were Lexia English users and non-users defined in the study?\",\"answer\":\"Students were considered Lexia English users if they completed at least 1 unit in the online program; users and non-users were matched using pre-test achievement and demographic factors.\"},{\"question\":\"What results were observed for EB students on California language proficiency and literacy assessments?\",\"answer\":\"EBs using Lexia English scored higher on the California ELPAC and on the Smarter Balanced ELA, including gains on overall and oral proficiency measures and related literacy outcomes.\"}]","Language and Literacy Benefits of Lexia English in California | PDF",1791061866,25]
