ENGLISH LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT (ELD)

Students who speak a language other than English as their first language are assessed to determine their English language proficiency. Students with limited English proficiency are provided with English language development (ELD) support. ELD classes for students emphasize listening and speaking skills, at first, and include reading and writing skills as proficiency levels improve. The overall objectives of the program are for students to develop English skills to enhance school success and to develop positive self-esteem that will generate positive intercultural attitudes.
