This course can be added to a school program only with the approval of the Office of High School Instruction and K-12 Curriculum Services. Transitional English 9 is intended to be taken concurrently with English for Speakers of Other Languages(ESOL). For ESOL students, Transitional English serves as a transition from ESOL to the mainstream English program. Students read a variety of literature, exploring the characteristics of different forms and relating life situations to literary themes. Language study includes spelling and vocabulary. Through varied and frequent writing assignments, students build on their understanding of writing as a process of prewriting, drafting, revising, and publishing. They practice oral communication skills in a variety of settings, including small groups, class discussions, and formal presentations.
