Academic Achievement through English Language Development 15 |
|
The primary goal of Academic Achievement through English Language Development 15 (ELD 15) is to provide English Language Learners (ELLs) with the opportunity to build and extend academic language proficiency and overall communicative competence within all aspects of literacy (listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing, representing) and across multiple subject areas. Academic language proficiency and communicative competence are fundamental to student success in school, the community, and the world at large. This course is appropriate for students who are assessed at LP 3 according to the Alberta ESL Benchmarks. Students at this language proficiency level (LP3) must complete ELD 15 as a prerequisite to other ELA courses offered through Chinook Learning Services.
