The English Learner Program (EL) at Echo Park provides instruction and support to students who are learning English. The focus of language instruction for students centers around reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. At Echo Park, we welcome the diversity and value the unique language experience our EL students bring to our school. The first languages of our English Learners include Amharic, Cambodian, Hmong, Spanish, Somali, Swahili, Vietnamese, and many more.
Students in our EL program come with their own individual abilities. The goal of our program is to help students reach their full potential. We encourage parents to continue reading and supporting their child’s first language skills at home, as first language literacy helps build and deepen English language literacy.
If you have any questions about our EL program, or about ways to support your child at home, please call, email, or visit us.
