English to Speakers of Other Languages
(ESOL) provides English language instruction that will
allow a student to gain improved proficiency in listening,
speaking, writing, reading and comprehension so that they
can experience success in their content courses and in social
contexts both inside and outside of school. Students from
other cultures often become acclimated to U.S. culture
through language-based instruction. The Georgia
Department of Education provides the following guidelines
for identifying students who may be identified as an English
Language Learner (ELL):
Students whose native/home/first language is other than
English
Students who have difficulty speaking, reading, writing or
understanding the English language to the extent that their
language skills would be a barrier to their success in the
classroom

be seen for what it accomplishes
rather than for what it fails to do.
