I believe a center that would be conducive in the area for spelling for English language speaking students and ELL's alike would be one that is similar to the game memory. In the center, the students would be given 10 flashcards, 5 with pictures and 5 with the word corresponding to the picture. For example, one card would say "tree" and one card would show a picture of a tree. The students would take turns flipping over the cards, two at a time, and try to match the correct word with the correct picture.
This would be a good center idea because it uses repetition to help students learn the words. The pictures along with the words not only help the English language students but also the ELL students as well because they will at least know what the picture is in their own language and will also get the benefit of seeing the English word repeatedly and matching it with their corresponding picture.
