ELL

Every child must have the opportunity to learn.

• The ESL Department provides English classes to all non-native English speakers in our school. We support students and teachers through a variety of services including pull-out programs, daily ESL classes, inclusion, and/or other appropriate resources depending on the needs of each student. Modifications are also offered to ELL students in the regular classroom setting.

• Our program follows the standards and objectives for ELL students mandated by the state of Tennessee and WCS schools.

ELL stands for English Language Learner(s) and identifies students who are learning English and are eligible for support services.

ESL stands for English as a Second Language. ESL refers to the program.

NELB stands for Non-English Language Background and identifies students who may speak another language at home. NELB students may not require support services. These students may have previously received ESL support services, but have progressed to the point where services are no longer needed.
