ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS ESL AND ELD PROGRAMS AND SERVICES

The diversity that exists in Ontario’s classrooms has helped to shape
the policy outlined in this document, which is intended to promote good
outcomes for English language learners. These students need to learn the
language of instruction in English language schools at the same time as they
are working towards meeting the curriculum expectations. Implementation
of this policy will promote academic achievement among English language
learners at the level expected of all learners in Ontario. It will also support
successful outcomes for English language learners as they graduate from
school and move to the next stage of living and learning.
