ESL Program Overview

The Montville Township Public Schools provide English language instruction to students whose native language is not English. The ESL program is designed to assist students in mastering the English language, as well as providing additional support to families. It focuses on listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills, integrates language with other subjects, promotes cultural understanding, and aims for a smooth transition to mainstream classes. Regular assessments, parental involvement, and collaboration between ESL and mainstream teachers are key components. The ultimate goal of the ESL program is to prepare students for successful integration into mainstream English-only classes. Transition support may include ongoing monitoring and assistance as students adapt to the language demands of mainstream education.
