English as a New Language (ENL)

This course is designed for students who may have gaps of two or more years in their formal education and/or little or no background in the English language. In this three-period class, students will acquire rudimentary skills and an everyday working English vocabulary. They will be offered opportunities to practice basic pronunciation, self-expression and grammatical structures. One period of this three-period block will be dedicated to developing English Language Arts (ELA) skills and will be co-taught by a specialist in ELA/reading. The ultimate goal of this section of English as a New Language is to help these students to acclimate to their new surroundings and to their new culture. The intent of this course is to prepare students to progress to the emerging, transitioning and expanding levels of ENL and soon be on their way to fulfilling the requirements of a high school diploma.
