Standard English 2

Standard English for ELLs 2 is for students who have been introduced to the United States and its education system, and who are somewhat familiar with the English language. Students will continue to learn the structure of English as well as acquire the grammatical foundations necessary for interpersonal, intercultural and instructional purposes. Additionally, learners will broaden their academic language or CALP (Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency) in order to be successful in school and beyond. Students will enhance English skills in all four domains: reading, listening, speaking and writing.

Students will:

• improve their speaking and listening skills by participating in conversations, presentations, and analyzing English language prosody and articulation

• hone their grammatical skills through the study of grammar in context

• increase their writing skills through daily writing activities
