English Language Learner (ELL) Support
English Language Learner (ELL) Support
English Language Learner Support is for students who are learning English as their second language. English Language Learners (ELL) will increase English skills, language acquisition, and content knowledge in reading, writing, listening, speaking, and comprehension. Teachers use intervention strategies and techniques to ensure that these students have had sufficient exposure to high quality, appropriate teaching that includes academic English instruction in an environment that is supportive of their language development. Classes will provide interventions that (1) provide systematic attention to language development, (2) build on students' background experiences, (3) use techniques that make the lessons more understandable. (4) create opportunities for practice and application, (5) use repetition and reinforcement, and (6) assess frequently and reteach as necessary.
