The goal is to provide ELs with social and academic language skills as well as cultural aspects of English that are necessary for career and college readiness.<\/p>\n<p>The District\u2019s ESL programs are rigorous, student-centered, and research-based. This combination best promotes academic literacy. To effectively teach language through academic content, ESL teachers and classroom teachers work and plan together. The curriculum is aligned to the Pennsylvania Department of Education\u2019s English Language Development (ELD) Standards and Common Core State Standards<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Eligibility &amp; Enrollment<\/h4>\n<p>The home language survey is used to assess whether or not the student may be eligible for ESL services.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If the survey indicates a language other than English is spoken at home, schools will utilize the English Learner Identification Procedure to determine if a student should be identified as an English Learner and placed into ESL programming.<\/li>\n<li>The English Learner Identification Procedure is a multi-faceted process that uses a number of steps to help assess a student\u2019s English proficiency, including a parent interview, reviewing past academic records, and potentially, administering an English Language Screener.<\/li>\n<li>If a student is determined to be an English Learner, a letter, called the English Learner Entry Letter, will be sent home to their family.<\/li>\n<li><em>While English Learner status is dependent upon the Identification Procedure, parents may choose to opt out of any or all ESL services.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Enrollment information can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.philasd.org\/studentplacement\/\">HERE<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section i_position=&#8221;right&#8221; i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fas fa-arrow-right&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; title=&#8221;Dual Language (Bilingual)&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;duallang&#8221;][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner content_placement=&#8221;top&#8221; gap=&#8221;5&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1761139608483{padding-top: 35px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]\n<h2>Dual Language (Bilingual) Programs<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/youtu.be\/SiB0UV4riyQ&#8221;][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Schools that Offer Dual Language Programs&#8221; custom_font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:16px|text_align:left|color:%2322779f|line_height:18px&#8221; custom_google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; use_custom_heading=&#8221;true&#8221;]\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Alexander McClure Elementary (K-5)<\/strong><br \/>\n600 W.
