  1. English Language Learners (ESOL) English Language Learning Progressions (ELLP) and National Standards

  2. Purpose of session To consider the decisions that schools need to make as they work with National Standards and the English Language Learning Progressions (ELLP) to support English language learners.

  3. Who are English Language Learners? • ESOL funded students from migrant, refugee or NZ born backgrounds • Previously funded students • International fee-paying students • Students from homes where a language other than English is spoken • Students transitioning from Maori medium/bilingual to English medium learning environments • Students with specific, identified language learning needs

  4. In the Massey Region: ESOL Funded Students • Hawke’s Bay: 54 schools and 542 students • Manawatu-Wanganui: 61 Schools and 580 students • Taranaki: 28 schools and 178 students These are not the only students requiring language learning support

  5. Important message Accelerated progress must be the goal for English language learners. There needs to be a sense of urgency and the need to “catch a moving target”.

  6. Monitoring progress and achievement • English language learners’ progress and achievement in reading and writing can be tracked, monitored and reported using the English Language Learning Progressions or the Reading and Writing Standards • Principals and school leaders will need to decide which is the more appropriate for each student

  7. What the National Standards say: Guidelines for English Language Learners in Years 1 to 4: • Students working within Foundation and Stage One of the English Language Learning Progressions may be tracked, monitored and reported on to parents using the English Language Learning Progressions rather than National Standards for a period of up to two years. Guidelines for English Language Learners in Years 5 to 8: • Students working within Foundation, Stage One, or Stage Two of the English Language Learning Progressions may be tracked, monitored and reported on to parents using the English Language Learning Progressions rather than National Standards for a period of up to three years.

  8. Why use ELLP? • Assessment tools and processes which have been normed for native speakers of English may not be appropriate • Enable teachers to better identify the learning needs of English language learners • Provide indicators and next steps based on second language acquisition theories
