ESL - English as a Second Language
The primary goal of the ESL program is to increase the English language proficiency of limited English proficient students so that they can meet state and district academic standards and thus be successful in school. A related goal is to increase these students’ English language proficiency so that they can fully and successfully participate in all mainstreamed classes at an age-appropriate grade level.
To meet these goals, the objectives of ESL instruction are the development of listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in English, and the provision of an educational environment which helps the ESL student understand and cope with a new culture. An ESL program is provided in each district school where at least one student attends who is in need of ESL instruction.
