Classes link curriculum goals to the language needs of the students.
Methodology emphasizes the concept of comprehensible input. The course content is derived from the State Frameworks and curriculum guidelines for each subject. Language fluency develops when students discuss and process the content. Meaning is occurs when students are actively engaged in an activity and when a connection is made between what they know and the curriculum. Use of extra-linguistic clues and lesson modifications ensure understanding.
