Goals of the English as a Second Language (ESL) Program
- Critical thinking skills
- High academic achievement in English
- Sociocultural competence
The goal of our ESL (English as a Second Language) program is to help students who are learning English as a new language become successful in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in English. Our program teaches English by integrating language learning with core content subjects like reading, math, science, and social studies. This way, students build their English skills while learning grade level content. The program aims to give students the language skills they need to achieve academically.
Every secondary campus in Austin ISD offers an ESL program.
