English Language Learner

Beginning ELL:  As the first course taken by English Language Learners, it is designed to enable students to develop a basic vocabulary in English, along with a fundamental knowledge of grammar in order that they be able to communicate in a public setting. This course is also designed to prepare students to continue on to more advanced courses. Concentration will therefore be on the four skills needed to acquire a second language: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking.

All classes that meet in person also simultaneously stream online. This way students can attend in person or remotely. 

PM Multi-Level ELL: This class is open to students of all levels with the class being divided into appropriate groups. The beginning students will learn basic vocabulary and grammar and practice reading and speaking. The intermediate students will develop their skills with more challenging assignments covering reading, comprehension, and communication. Contextual lessons enable them to feel comfortable speaking in a variety of public situations. The advanced students will have even more challenging tasks, one of which is to help other students in their learning. Concentration is on the skills necessary for the students to either enter college or a certificate program or improved employment. 

Used in both Intermediate and Multi-level classes:  Classroom, Burlington English, Readworks, Quizziz, Kkahoots and more.
