TESOL PreK-12 English Language Proficiency Standards

The TESOL standards were devised to help teachers provide culturally and linguistically appropriate education to English Language Learners. Tomorrow I will be posting some more information about the standards and how they can be used in your classroom. The standards are as follows:

Standard 1: English language learners communicate for social, intercultural, and instructional purposes within the school setting.

Standard 2: ELLs communicate information, ideas, and concepts necessary for academic success in the area of language arts

Standard 3: ELLs communicate information, ideas, and concepts necessary for academic success in the area of mathematics

Standard 4: ELLs communicate information, ideas, and concepts necessary for academic success in the area of science

Standard 5: ELLs communicate information, ideas, and concepts necessary for academic success in the area of social studies
