What is ESOL?
ESOL (English
for Speakers of Other Languages) is a program of English
instruction to promote English language proficiency (LEP).
ESOL instruction must integrate instructional techniques
of teaching English as a second language (ESL)
with the curriculum requirements of English Language
Arts. The curriculum is equal in amount, scope,
and sequence as the curriculum provided to regular
education students. The students assigned to these
classrooms may speak a variety of primary languages
other than English and are at different levels of
English language proficiency.
What is ELL?
ELLs (English Language Learners) refers to the students
who are enrolled in ESL/ESOL classes because they are
developing their English language skills.
Students whose first language is not English and who are
not yet proficient in English are eligible for ESOL.
This may include students who were born in the United
States due to the fact that their families speak another
language at home.
