English Learners are identified through the home language survey completed during the enrollment process. English learners are supported by a specialist who is trained in the acquisition of language.
It takes most students 1-3 years to acquire Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills (BICS) and 3-7 years to develop Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency (CALP). As students develop their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in English, they increase participation in their educational environments.
