Berecsky, Karen / ESL Program

MONROE TOWNSHIP ESL PROGRAM

The Monroe Township ESL Program includes students in Kindergarten through 12^th grade.

The classes are taught by Karen Berecsky at Woodland/Middle School, Mareen Jones at

Oak Tree/Applegarth, Diana Kaiser at the High School and Nawon Park at Mill Lake.

Students who enter the Monroe schools speaking primarily a language other than English

may be in need of additional assistance in learning English and in maintaining progress in

the regular program.

Monroe has an English as a Second Language (ESL) program for English Language Learners

(ELLs) available in all grades, K-12. In order to determine which students need to be placed in

the ELL program, a language test is given within the school. Children who qualify receive

specialized daily instruction in all aspects of English: understanding, speaking, reading, and

writing, which will better prepare them for their school careers and their life in the United

States. A letter is sent home advising parents of this opportunity; however, they have the

right to refuse these services. Students receive one period daily of ELL instruction. The focus

of the ELL program is to teach students to understand, speak, read, and write English.

The ELL teachers also teach content area vocabulary and concepts within the ELL classrooms.
