Texas Administrative Code › Title 19 - EDUCATION › Part 2 - TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY › Chapter 74 - CURRICULUM REQUIREMENTS › Subchapter A - REQUIRED CURRICULUM › Section 74.4 - English Language Proficiency Standards

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a)
				  Introduction.
(1) The English language
				  proficiency standards in this section outline English language proficiency
				  level descriptors and student expectations for English language learners
				  (ELLs). School districts shall implement this section as an integral part of
				  each subject in the required curriculum. The English language proficiency
				  standards are to be published along with the Texas Essential Knowledge and
				  Skills (TEKS) for each subject in the required curriculum.
(2) In order for ELLs to be successful, they
				  must acquire both social and academic language proficiency in English. Social
				  language proficiency in English consists of the English needed for daily social
				  interactions. Academic language proficiency consists of the English needed to
				  think critically, understand and learn new concepts, process complex academic
				  material, and interact and communicate in English academic settings.
(3) Classroom instruction that effectively
				  integrates second language acquisition with quality content area instruction
				  ensures that ELLs acquire social and academic language proficiency in English,
				  learn the knowledge and skills in the TEKS, and reach their full academic
				  potential.
(4) Effective
				  instruction in second language acquisition involves giving ELLs opportunities
				  to listen, speak, read, and write at their current levels of English
				  development while gradually increasing the linguistic complexity of the English
				  they read and hear, and are expected to speak and write.
(5) The cross-curricular second language
				  acquisition skills in subsection (c) of this section apply to ELLs in
				  Kindergarten-Grade 12.
(6) The
				  English language proficiency levels of beginning, intermediate, advanced, and
				  advanced high are not grade-specific. ELLs may exhibit different proficiency
				  levels within the language domains of listening, speaking, reading, and
				  writing. The proficiency level descriptors outlined in subsection (d) of this
				  section show the progression of second language acquisition from one
				  proficiency level to the next and serve as a road map to help content area
				  teachers instruct ELLs commensurate with students' linguistic needs.
