Globe English Language Development Standard Course of Study
"NEW" ELL Standard Course of Study (2008)
The North Carolina English Language Development Standard
Course of Study (SCS) establishes competency goals and
objectives in English language proficiency for K-12 students
whose first language is not English. This document focuses on the
progressive development of the English language skills of
listening, speaking, reading, and writing for personal, social, and,
especially, academic purposes.
The document is designed to set standards for growth leading to
the attainment of full English language proficiency in accordance
with the cognitive development of children and adolescents as
well as the language needs of academic content which becomes
progressively demanding as the student moves up the K-12
continuum.
This SCS should serve as a guide to ESL teachers, classroom
teachers, administrators, and support personnel as they make
decisions concerning services to limited English proficient
students. The document provides a framework for schools that
should be expanded by local districts to reflect the needs of their
own student population.
