This discussion thread may be interesting in revealing some stereotypes about 
both ESL and special ed.  No one should assume what the level of instruction 
is in special ed classrooms just by the fact that it is special ed.  I had 
special ed students in my classes who were working at levels higher than the 
average for their age or grade.  There are as many "instructional levels" in 
special ed classrooms as there are learners.  The point is individualization.
