Case: Misplaced Student
A new student to your school has been placed in your ESOL class. However, during classroom instruction you find that he is at a very high level of English proficiency, and appears to not need any ESOL instruction. When you bring this to administrations attention, they provide the documentation claiming that the child be placed in an ESOL classroom because his language spoken at home is Spanish. What do you do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It is important to remember that it can take 7-10 years for a student to become fluent using academic language even if the student speaks very well conversationally. This may be why the student is in ESOL to continue academic language. |

| Comments: It is my understanding that students are provided ESOL services up to two years after they've been in the country unless their English is not sufficient. It sounds like this student's English should allow him to test out of the program. |

| Comments: While it is true that it can take 7-10 years for a student to become fluent using academic language, it states that the teacher noticed during classroom instruction that the student was at a very high level of English proficiency. If it was during classroom instruction, that would be academic language. |

| Comments: If the student can communicate fluently in the classroom to the teacher, then that is evidence that the child is fluent in academic language. |

| Comments: The thing is if he is at a high level of English and the ESOL teacher believes that he does not need to be in the class, then he would be able to understand academic language. They are putting him in there because he speaks Spanish at home, that does not qualify him for ESOL classes if he can speak English fine. |

| Comments: I believe that it is redundant for the student to be in an ESOL program if their testing shows that they do not need it. They may still be learning English, but not need enough help to be in an ESOL program. |
