Intermediate ESL and Advanced ESL
These are year-long classes designed for International students learning English as a second language. Students have some English skills but need to improve in the areas of reading, writing, listening, and speaking English to transition into college prep English courses. The curriculum includes conversational and academic language skills such as literature genre, basic grammar skills, in addition to paragraph and essay writing.
In the broader WCHS English Department, curriculum covers learning in the following core skill areas: writing, close reading of literature, grammar, research, and vocabulary. In each of these core areas, the English Department has developed a continuum of skills from the most basic to the most challenging: The classes range from literature and composition classes with a focus on remediation, college preparation, honors, and AP. The curriculum includes a four-year vocabulary program as well as literature that progresses from general reading to specific American, British, and world literature texts. Literature advances through reading comprehension to analyzing and synthesizing; literary elements build and increase in complexity. The department has a long-established research paper project, intensifying in difficulty and expectations over the four years. The department stays current with the expectations of colleges/universities to ensure the preparedness and success of our students as they transition to each grade level and finally to a college or vocational program. The department’s continuous communication and detailed understanding of its students’ abilities help to develop a strategy for achieving high standards and meeting the expectations of the future.
