CBLI

The purpose of CBLI (content-based language instruction), is to make content comprehensible while supporting second language development. This field of teaching used to be called sheltered instruction.

Examples:

  • Sheltered Biology
  • Sheltered Algebra
  • Sheltered World Geography

 

 

World Languages

World Languages is a subject area in education that exposes students to different cultures and languages. World Languages programs can help students develop a broader view of the world and expose them to different modes of thought.

Examples:

  • Spanish 1
  • French 2

ESL

ESL stands for English as a Second Language, and it's a field of teaching and learning English to non-native speakers. ESL classes help students improve their English skills, such as speaking, listening, reading, and writing, so they can communicate effectively in English-speaking environments.

Examples:

  • English I ESL
  • Reading 2 ESL
 

Dual Language

Dual Language is a type of education where students learn literacy and content in two languages, usually English and another language. It's also known as dual language immersion or two-way or one-way dual language. Dual language programs are additive, meaning students acquire a second language while developing their first language.

Examples:

  • DL Latin American Studies
  • DL U.S. History
