Students in this course should also have an English proficiency level of 1. This course should engage ELL with basic survival English, vocabulary, and structures for transition into an American school environment. This course should provide newcomers extra support in understanding how an American school “works” (e.g., its daily structure, working with teachers beyond the scheduled class time, and expectations of asking for help when lessons are confusing or the English too difficult) and accessing the academic language being used in the lessons. This course is repeatable.
