Ms. Hoskins' Grade 7 Newcomer (Entering/Emerging) ENL
This course aims to help students acquire the language needed to get started with life in the United States and to navigate their new school and family responsibilities as well as their social lives in their new home. It is also designed to prepare students for success in their core classes and to help them demonstrate improvement on the New York State English as a Second Language Achievement Test (NYSESLAT).The Achieve3000 Literacy Program, which provides Spanish language scaffolding, will be used to target improvement in reading and writing.
Further guided reading, writing, speaking and listening activities, supported with visuals and teacher modeling, will be geared to promote both collaborative and independent learning.Textbooks used include the "Side by Side'' series and the "True Stories'' series (both published by Pearson).
