NHS Program of Studies: English as a New Language

07101 ENGLISH AS A NEW LANGUAGE

1 year 1 credit Grades 9-12

All students who come from a family in which a language other than English is spoken will be screened. Students who score below a score of “proficient” on the NYS Identification Test of English Language Learners will be enrolled in ENL and take another assessment in May to determine continued eligibility. The curricular emphasis, including listening and comprehension, oral expression, and writing for literary and technical purposes, enhances students’ ability to use English, allowing them to fully participate in an academic environment.
