    Course Description:

    ELL Development 2 focuses on developing essential language skills that students need to
    function in daily life and at school. This course is designed as a follow-up to ELL Development
    1 and as a prerequisite for ELL Development 3. Students will be given opportunities to improve
    their reading, writing, thinking, speaking, and listening skills. A main focus will be developing a
    positive attitude towards language learning. Students will be expected to use English at all times
    in the classroom.

    Course Content:

    Writing

    Required skills will be developed through various writing assignments, journaling, grammar
    exercises, and practice.

    Oral Work

    Both informal and formal speaking opportunities will be offered to refine public speaking
    techniques.

    Reading

    Silent reading will occur for the first 20 minutes of every class. Students will also be asked to
    read and demonstrate comprehension skills on a regular basis.

    problems to pile up!
