| English as a
Second Language |
|
English as a Second Language
is a program available to students whose primary language is not
English. They may require language assistance in order to develop
their individual potential within the BC school system. Other
students may speak variations of English that differ significantly from
that used in school and in broader Canadian society and may require English
As a Second Language to achieve success.
An English As a Second Language teacher assesses a student's
language skills and then determines if there is a need for ESL
support. All four language areas - listening, speaking, reading
and writing - are assessed. Each student's program is then adapted
as necessary to encourage the development of his or her individual
potential.
The goals of our ESL program are to provide students with assistance to
become proficient in English and to achieve the expected learning
outcomes of the curriculum. Services are delivered through
individual ESL instruction for students and through supportive services
within a mainstream classroom.
Students' progress is reviewed annually through an assessment of English
language proficiency.
