What Works in ELD

English Language Development (ELD) programs can facilitate a student's transition from no English, or limited English, to fluency and mastery of the language.  Having looked at what works in ELD, there are five areas which were identified:

1) Language Assessment
2) Core Class Placement
3) Access to Language
4) Language Acquisition
5) Reassess & Reevaluate

These five areas are essential to the language development of students whose native or primary language is not English, and should be analysed by connecting them to the following three categories:

1) Personal Experiences
2) Professional Experiences
3) Data & Research

The guide below shows a way that this connection can be done, you can also open the guide here  to access the file.
