READING

NOTE: Students enrolled in an ELD course must also be enrolled in English LEP (Limited English Proficient). English LEP and ELD classes are designed for those students whose first or primary languages are languages other than English. In these classes, students develop standard fluency in oral and written language in order to compete equally with students whose first language is English and in order to succeed in classes for native speakers of English.

English LEP classes follow the state curriculum and students may remain in an English-LEP/ELD level for more than one year for credit, or may be moved to higher levels as their levels of fluency increase. English LEP classes meet graduation requirements for English credit; ELD classes receive elective credit.

ENGLISH 2 LEP / *ELD 1 & 2 Grade Level: 9-12 Prerequisite: Standardized tests for non-native English speakers, and recommendation of

teacher/program coordinator. The purpose of English Language Development Enrichment and Support class (ELDE Levels 1 and 2) is to assist Long Term English Learners (LTELs) in achieving adequate progress toward academic success in their College Preparatory classes. ELDE classes assist LTELs by creating proficient English learners who are successful in mainstream educational programs. This course meets the English language development needs of identified English language learners who are at the early advanced (transitional) level. The class is communicative in nature and focuses principally on the integration between spoken and written English. Level 1 is for those who are in the class the first year; if a second year is needed, the student is enrolled in ELDE 2. Estimated daily homework: 30 Min-1 Hour

ENGLISH 3 LEP / *ELD 3 Grade Level: 9-12 Prerequisite: Standardized tests for non-native English speakers, and recommendation of

teacher/program coordinator. English 3 LEP and ELD 3 are for those non-native speakers of English who have almost native-level fluency but need additional refinement of skills in order to succeed in classes where only English is used and where the specific difficulties for non-native speakers are not addressed. Students will continue to increase vocabulary, develop writing skills and read core works of literature. English 3 LEP emphasizes the academic uses of English, while the ELD 3 class focuses on oral fluency and the specific difficulties for speakers of English as a second language. Estimated daily homework: 30 Min-1 Hour

Adjustments in the LEP 3 / ELD 3 combination may be made according to student achievement with PELL coordinator approval. *This course may not be used to meet university admission requirements or for the district Academic Recognition Program. *No more than one year of ELD classes may be counted towards university admission (UC/CSU a-g requirements)
