Abstract	English language learners (ELs) present the fastest growing school population in the southeastern region. Therefore teachers need to be specifically prepared to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate support to ELs using research-evidenced practices. For this purpose, a southeastern university integrated an afterschool academic EL support program into a graduate literacy course to serve ELs at a middle school. This paper shares the course characteristics, the afterschool support model, selected case scenarios with intervention content, and mixed methods impact data from various sources. Based on described benefits and challenges, suggestions for other institutions of learning are provided. (As Provided).
