About the English Language Learners (ELL) Department

  • English Language Learning (ELL) and ELL support courses are for students who are learning English as a second or other language and/or are new or recently arrived to the United States. Students are given opportunities to use English in real and meaningful situations. Listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills are developed through project-based activities, literature and non-fiction study, language-building activities, and cultural awareness. Number of classes and level of support are determined by a New York State examination and teacher recommendation.
