What is ESL?

noviembre 22, 2018 Jose Martinez 0 Comments




Teaching English as a Second Language is a high-demand subject of instruction that continues to experience growth in schools across the country. As children from foreign countries continue to immigrate to the United States and enroll in schools here, the number of students whose native language is not English continues to grow. Thus, many schools have English Language Learners (ELL) programs, also known as English as a Second Language (ESL).

Structure of ESL Programs
ESL schools help students become more fluent in English by breaking down concepts and language rules. Many programs teach mathematics, science, and history classes in a way that is easier for students who are non-native speakers. Oftentimes, these programs are located in English speaking countries to give students a real immersion feeling. There are ESL Programs that can be found in home countries as well!
Many ESL students can feel extremely overwhelmed being immersed in a country that they does not speak the language; it can be very frustrating because they cannot understand or participate in a class that is entirely taught in English or in the outside world around them.

English Language Programs (ESL, EFL) can teach you to read, write, understand, and speak English more fluently by enhancing your grammar, vocabulary, and communication skills. However, there are also many other reasons for studying at an English Language School.

What are the other benefits of an English Language Program?
