English Language Learners

English Language Learners

Noblesville Schools provides instructional programming for hundreds of identified students whose dominant language is not English. Approximately 30 different home languages are spoken by our students and their families. The goal of English Language Learner (EL) instruction is to provide instructional support to enable students to participate fully in their educational experience and social lives in our community. The objectives identified for English learners are to develop both basic interpersonal communication skills and cognitive academic language proficiency.

Our EL collaborative teachers and instructors work alongside classroom teachers to assist students with developing proficiency in the language domains of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. They work to develop competence in academic and social interactions, and to encourage participation in the full range of learning opportunities and experiences.
