英語学校において英語能力が不十分な学生のための言語サポートプログラム

Abstract

One of the more difficult challenges faced by English-speaking schools throughout the world is the successful integration of limited English proficiency (LEP) students into the mainstream class ensuring the successful learning of grade-level content while limiting stress to the students. Currently the field is obscured by a variety of models and terminologies that are described and used in different and conflicting ways making it difficult to determine which programs are most practical for a given situation. This paper introduces a unique organizational structure to establish clarity and uniformity in describing the common programs noting strengths and weaknesses to identify suitable models for a variety of academic settings.
