Who are English Language Learners?
English language learners (ELLs) include, but are not limited to:

• ESOL-funded students, who may be migrants, refugees, or New
   Zealand born
• previously funded students who have completed their funding
   eligibility term or reached the benchmark
• international fee-paying students
• students from homes where a language other than English is
spoken
• students transitioning from Māori-medium to English-medium
  learning environments
• students from bilingual education settings.
Addressing the needs of ELLs
Schools most effectively address the learning needs of English
language learners from diverse backgrounds when they:

• identify students with English language learning needs
• apply for ESOL funding for students who are eligible
• set up appropriate programmes and monitor progress
• support diversity and encourage the use of first languages
• undertake relevant professional development
• develop links with families and communities.

A range of resources has been developed to assist schools to
provide this multi-layered support for ELLs.
Most resources can be ordered from ‘Down the Back of the Chair’
