English learners
English learners are individuals who are acquiring proficiency in the English language, often as non-native speakers. They may speak another language at home or in their community and are working to develop skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking in English. This process varies based on their age, background, and language exposure. Supporting English learners involves providing appropriate instructional strategies, resources, and encouragement to help them communicate effectively, participate fully in educational settings, and access opportunities in wider society.
