ELL Education Curriculum


English Language Learner Education Curriculum is a process by which an English Language Learner (ELL) learns the English language.  This process can be varied, based on needs and resources available, to provide the ELL student with the opportunity to learn the English language.  ELL education curriculum must be assessed as part of this process.  This assessment should be done through a fair and equal measurement of the skills and abilities demonstrated by ELL students.  Assessment should clearly determine which ELL student meets the requirements to advance further in their English language learning.  It should also: Assess which ELL student has not yet met the requirements to advance, recommend how to review the curriculum with the learner, and reassess the ELL student.

Begin by establishing an introduction of the English language to the learner.  Use this introduction to develop a foundation of letters, phonics, words, definitions, spelling, usage, etc.  English language learners can then grow as students who learn how to build sentences, write papers, develop speech, make presentations, carry on a discussion, research their own research.  Create paths that allow for new ELL students to merge into the curriculum process.  Allow for students to be able to review each aspect of the process as necessary to succeed in the learning of the language.  The ELL education curriculum should also prepare students for further learning of the language.
