English As A Second Language

	English As A Second Language
	When a child moves to the United States from a foreign country the biggest problem that is encountered is communicating with other people in English. Dyker has children from Italy, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, China, Haiti, Argentina, Russia, Hong Kong, and Korea -- to name a few! The E.S.L. program serves these children. Basic English skills are taught and developed.
	Individual and group instruction are used to maximize the teaching of English to these children.
		Trips, filmstrips and other audio-visual techniques are utilized to expose students to experiences and hands-on activities necessary for daily living. This program helps students cope with the other classes that they attend by strengthening their English language abilities.
