What is English as a Second Language?
English as a Second Language (ESL) is
teaching the skills of Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing
in an educational environment at
appropriate developmental levels with little or no use of the native language.

![Page 6: ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE - North Allegheny · English as A Second Language Enrollment 2011/12 2012/13 2013/14 2014/15 2015/16 Non-English Speaking 27 30 15 35 25 Beginning 9 11](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070704/5e899ed765f505787f01bb04/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How Does a Student Qualify for ESL? When registering a newly enrolled student, all
parent(s)/guardian(s) are required to complete a Home Language Survey.
If a language other than English is spoken in the home, a Student Background Questionnaire is completed by the parent(s)/guardian(s).
The need for further evaluation of a student is determined by information provided on the Student Background Questionnaire, and any previous U.S. school records.
An evaluation is administered by an ESL Specialist to determine levels in Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing.
For students transferring schools within the United States, school records will be reviewed by the ESL Specialists and student placement will be determined by the most recent ESL evaluation results. 6

English Language Learners (ELLs) attend magnet schools to deliver services more effectively and efficiently. Students are reassigned to the
magnet school for all instruction, eliminating shuttle transportation between schools and loss of instructional time for students.
