MIDDLE SCHOOL

ESOL

Description of the Lake Braddock Middle School ESOL program:

"The middle school ESOL program comprises a range of courses to meet the cultural, linguistic, and academic needs of middle school LA, A, B1, and B2 students. The language objectives of the program are based on the 7th and 8th grade English Language Arts standards, benchmarks, and indicators. The primary goal of all middle school ESOL courses is language acquisition. Courses that are based on science and social studies use that content as the vehicle for language learning. Their curriculum parallels the major concepts of upper elementary and middle school content courses. Their intent is to help students develop social and academic language proficiency, and to provide them with foundational academic learning that will support their achievement of the Virginia SOL.The curriculum in the literature/language courses, and the science/social studies-based courses for all proficiency levels relies on integrated instruction, and increasing exposure to the writing process and computer technology. It promotes high achievement for ESOL students by providing appropriate, comprehensible academic instruction in an interactive environment."
