English as a New Language (ENL)
English as a New Language (ENL)
ENL classes are for speakers of other languages who are recent arrivals in this country. Formerly known as English as a Second Language (ESL), ENL is a specialized instructional program for students whose first language is not English. Trained and certified teachers use methods, techniques and materials designed to meet the needs of English Language Learners (ELLs).
Reading, writing, listening, and speaking are emphasized through a variety of activities. ENL also helps the Limited English Proficient (LEP) / English Language Learner (ELL) student adjust as quickly as possible to the mainstream of the school and to the community. Students are grouped according to ability in English - beginner, intermediate, and advanced.
The principal goal of the ENL class is to prepare the student to exit from ENL and enter into the mainstream by developing their English skills and competency.
Overview
Overview
When students are enrolled in a district, families complete a Home Language Questionnaire. This document indicates if a language other than English is spoken at home. This information is given to our ENL and Bilingual teachers to interpret, and then they evaluate students for the program. Once a student is evaluated, they are placed in the program and given the appropriate amount of service needed for the level of English language acquisition demonstrated in the evaluation. The levels are explained in the image to the right.
In order to exit the program, students must take and pass the NYSESLAT exam. This exam is given every spring and measures the amount of English language acquisition that has taken place over the course of the school year. Once a student scores Commanding on this test, they exit the program. However, they are still entitled to 2 years of transitional support
