WELCOME TO ESL!
The goal of our ESL program is to develop English language proficiency using second language methodology through explicit instruction in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in all academic areas.
Our teachers serve ESL students by using sheltered instruction strategies to help students understand content and develop academic language in the areas of Math, Science, Social Studies, and English Language Arts. All courses for ESL students provide instruction based on the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and follow the English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS).
The Elementary Dual Language/ESL staff is eager to provide assistance with:
Sheltered instruction
Differentiated instruction
Hands-on learning
Small group instruction
Rigorous TEKS-based instruction
Conceptual-based learning
Cooperative learning
Individualized instruction centers
Active participation
Problem-solving
