At Wells-Ogunquit Community School District, we provide instruction for English Learners to help increase their proficiency in English and ability to succeed academically. An English Learner is a student who presently speaks or used to speak another language other than English and is not yet able to use English to listen, speak, read, and write at the same level as their English speaking peers. The goals of the English Learners program at Wells-Ogunquit Community School District is to improve students English proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing, provide adaptations to make the school curriculum more accessible using research-based strategies, aid students to help them acquire grade level skills through developing their academic language proficiency, and to support students as they adjust to American culture.
