ESOL

English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) is the language instruction educational program for eligible English learners (ELs). The program provides support for English language acquisition and the development of skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing.  

Although many students can communicate socially, they struggle with the language used for academic purposes.  It can take many years for students to develop this academic language that includes complicated text structures, formal grammar use, and abstract concepts. The ESOL program assists students to acquire both social and academic language in English by providing direct instruction daily.
