Second Language Program Office: 573-422-6179 Fax: 573-422-3185 Coordinator:
Charlotte Spencer
The primary goal of the ESL program is to
increase the proficiency levels of second language students in the skill areas
of listening, speaking, reading, and writing so that they may acquire the
academic language necessary to function comfortably in an American classroom.
The ESL program encourages the students' awareness of American customs and
culture. Working with the principal, the guidance counselor, other
specialists and aides, the teacher acts as a liaison between school and home.
We believe that it is important to foster the students' participation in the
American society while preserving the individual young person's language and
culture. |
