Our Vision:

The vision of the Multilingual Learner (MLL) program in the South Kingstown School Department is dedicated to meeting the linguistic, cultural, and educational needs of multicultural and multilingual students and families. We are dedicated to empowering Multilingual Learners to master social and academic English; achieve academic success; accomplish personal goals focused on college and career readiness; and navigate diverse local and global communities. We foster a supportive, inclusive environment that affirms and respects students’ cultural richness and linguistic assets.

What We Do:

Multilingual Specialists work with multilingual learners (MLLs) in their content area classes to make content accessible while students are acquiring and building academic and social English language proficiency. Specialists provide research-validated, systematic, explicit, and sustained language instruction to MLLs, designed specifically to develop social, instructional, and academic language within the four language domains (speaking, listening, reading, and writing) in conjunction with subject matter content (language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies). Language-focused lessons aligned to the WIDA English Language Development Standards and grade level core-content standards enable MLL students to become successful individuals in the mainstream classroom, overall school environment, and community at large.
